Graphical illustration of light focusing using a planar glass surface studded with millions of nanopillars (referred to as a metalens) forming an optical tweezer. (A) Device cross section depicts plane waves of light that come to a focus through secondary wavelets generated by nanopillars of varying size. (B) The same metalens is used to...
An artist's illustration of radiation residue from the Big Bang distorted by dark matter 12 billion years ago. For the first time, dark matter from twelve billion years ago has been detected. A group of scientists from Nagoya College in Japan has collaborated to investigate the dark matter surrounding galaxies as they appeared twelve billion years...
Image of the Cartwheel Galaxy and its companion galaxies is a composite from Jame Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). MIRI data is colored red while NIRCam data is colored blue, orange, and yellow.Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI The space telescope's powerful infrared gaze offers a new sight of just how the galaxy...
Credit: Andriy Onufriyenko/Getty Images A recent study published in the journal Nature suggests that when we experience surprise, our brains are more likely to be attentive. Researchers, from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, discovered that a hormone called noradrenaline can impact brain activity and behavior in response to unexpected events. Noradrenaline is one of several chemicals...
