- Manipulating Non-Magnetic Atoms In A Chromium Halide Enables Tuning Of Magnetic Properties 05/10/2020 New approach creates synthetic layered magnets with unprecedented level of control over their magnetic properties
- Possible Marker Of Life Spotted On Venusfor Fast, High-Resolution 3-D Printing, Visible Light Is Gaining On UV 01/10/2020 Photochemistry extends 3-D printing to LEDs, which could cut energy use and open up novel applications
- Possible Marker Of Life Spotted On Venus 30/09/2020 Astronomers have discovered a rare molecule -- phosphine -- in the clouds of Venus. On Earth, this gas is only made industrially or by microbes that thrive in oxygen-free environments. Astronomers have speculated for decades that high clouds on Venus could offer a home for microbes -- floating free of the scorching surface but needing to tolerate very high acidity. The detection of phosphine could point to such extra-terrestrial 'aerial' life.
