The calculations allow the electron densities and the changes after excitation to be determined with high spatial and temporal resolution. Here, the example of the lithium hydride molecule shows the shift of electron density from cyanide (red) to lithium (green) during a laser pulse. Credit: F.

Honey - ancient liquid goldA multitude of factors-- its acidity, lack of water, and the existence of hydrogen peroxide-- function in absolute harmony, allowing honey to last forever.Modern archeologists excavating ancient Egyptian tombs have often discovered something unpredictable among the tombs' artifacts: pots of honey, thousands of years old and yet still completely preserved....
Entangled drumheads. Credit: Aalto UniversityNew researches expand the boundaries of physics, reaching quantum entanglement in larger systems. Perhaps, even getting around the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.Recently released research pushes the boundaries of crucial concepts in quantum mechanics. Studies from 2 various groups utilized little drums to demonstrate that quantum entanglement. This is an effect generally...
This artist’s impression shows an ultra-hot exoplanet, a planet beyond our Solar System, as it is about to transit in front of its host star. When the light from the star passes through the planet’s atmosphere, it is filtered by the chemical elements and molecules in the gaseous layer. With sensitive instruments, the signatures...
Data from 25 comets were compiled to test predictions of solar system formation and evolution.A current research study from the College of Central Florida has discovered solid support that the outgassing of particles from comets could be the outcome of the composition from the start of our solar system.The outcomes were released today in...

In their paper publicized in JAMA Internal Medicine, the team explains their investigation, which contained providing hundreds of...
UConn researchers have developed a way of charging deep brain stimulators that don't require the battery power that's currently standard. Credit: University of ConnecticutImplantable deep brain stimulators could aid lots of people with neurological and psychiatric illnesses when conventional therapies stop functioning. Nevertheless, surgery every time the batteries have to be transformed is a...
