Creating and investigating magnetic DNA nanoflowers
A methodology is developed for chemically modifying DNA nanoflowers so as to increase stability and introduce magnetic properties.
Gaia reveals how Sun-like stars turn solid after their demise
Astronomers have discovered the first direct evidence for white dwarf stars solidifying into giant balls of crystallized elements, a process that was first predicted 50 years ago.
Identifying the source of solar chromospheric jets
Solar spicules are jets of cold dense material emerging through the Sun's lower atmosphere, the chromosphere. This work demonstrated these can be formed from MHD waves.
Ballistic One-Dimensional Holes with Strong g鈥慒actor Anisotropy in Germanium
Observation of ballistic 1D holes with strong g鈥慺actor anisotropy in epitaxial Germanium marks an important step toward the realization of novel devices for applications in quantum spintronics.
