A new class of coatings that sheds ice effortlessly from even large surfaces has moved researchers closer to their decades-long goal of ice-proofing cargo ships, airplanes, power lines and other large structures.
The spray-on coatings, developed at the University of Michigan, cause ice to fall away from structures--regardless of their size--with just the force of a light breeze, or often t

Like memories in computers, quantum memories are essential components for quantum computers - a new generation of data processors that obey quantum mechanics laws and can overcome the limitations of classical computers.
They may push boundaries of fundamental science and help create new drugs, explain cosmological mysteries, or enhance accuracy of forecasts and optimization plans with thei

Supersolidity is a paradoxical state where the matter is both crystallized and superfluid. Predicted 50 years ago, such a counter-intuitive phase, featuring rather antithetic properties, has been long searched in superfluid helium. However, after decades of theoretical and experimental efforts, an unambiguous proof of supersolidity in these systems is still missing.
Two research teams led

NASA research scientist Tom Hanisco set out to build an instrument capable of measuring a short-lived chemical that cleanses the atmosphere of methane - a potent greenhouse gas - but found instead that his discovery outshined the best commercial instruments at measuring ambient levels of ozone.
His serendipitous discovery has led to the filing of a patent application for an instrument he c

Bill Fairbank is looking for...nothing.
The Colorado State University professor of physics studies the fundamental matter particles known as neutrinos, and an exceedingly rare instance of radioactive decay in which neutrinos - otherwise present in such decays - are nowhere to be found.
This theorized but never-before-observed process, called "neutrinoless double-beta decay," would ro

NASA Launch Services Program (LSP) investigators have determined the technical root cause for the Taurus XL launch failures of NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) and Glory missions in 2009 and 2011, respectively: faulty materials provided by aluminum manufacturer, Sapa Profiles, Inc. (SPI).
LSP's technical investigation led to the involvement of NASA's Office of the Inspector General
