Researchers at KAIST, in collaboration with multiple institutions, have experimentally confirmed the three-dimensional distribution of vortex-like polarization inside ferroelectric nanoparticles. Using electron atomic tomography, they mapped the atomic positions in the barium titanate nanoparticles and calculated the internal polarization distribution. This discovery confirms theoretical predictions made 20 years ago and has potential for the development … Read more
Last year, Jaume Pellicer led a team of other scientists into a forest on Grande Terre, an island east of Australia. They were looking for a fern called Tmesipteris oblanceolata. Standing only a few inches tall, it wasn’t easy to find on the forest floor. “It’s not noticeable,” said Dr. Pellicer, who works at the … Read more
An international team has discovered an Earth-sized planet orbiting a long-lived red dwarf, providing unique insights into potentially habitable worlds. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Researchers using robotic global telescopes discovered an Earth-sized planet, SPECULOOS-3 b, orbiting an ultracool red dwarf inside Milky Way. This planet, tidally locked and likely lacking an atmosphere due to intense radiation, offers … Read more

Jupiter’s moon Io, imaged by SHARK-VIS on January 10, 2024. This is the highest-resolution image of Io ever taken by an Earth-based telescope. The image combines three spectral bands—infrared, red, and yellow—to highlight the reddish ring around Pele volcano (below and to the right of the moon’s center) and the white ring around Pillan Patera, … Read more
Einstein’s theory of gravity is a cornerstone of modern cosmology. It has been tested and proven correct over and over and is supported by the discovery of countless cosmic phenomena: from gravitational lensing discovered by Arthur Eddington in 1919 and anomalies observed in the orbit of Mercury, to galactic redshifts and gravitational waves. The theory … Read more
