Fracture Energy of Soft Lattices
• Physics 18, s1
The energy required to fracture a lattice material obeys a scaling law governed by just three parameters, researchers find.
What determines the minimum energy needed for a crack to propagate through a…

Researchers Create New Nanosensors of Force
The newly-developed all-optical nanosensors are luminescent nanocrystals that can change intensity and/or color when you push or pull on them; they are probed with light only and therefore allow for fully remote read-outs — no wires or…

Nanostructured Filaments Produce Bright Light Waves that Twirl as They Travel
Bright, twisted light can be produced thanks to nanostructured filaments with twisted geometry, according to scientists at the University of Michigan.
Planck’s law ignores but does not prohibit black-body radiation (BBR) from being…

Dark Energy is Misidentification of Variations in Kinetic Energy of Universe’s Expansion, Scientists Say
Dark energy — an unknown energy source that is causing our Universe’s expansion to accelerate – doesn’t actually exist, according to new research.
This artist’s impression shows the evolution of the Universe beginning with the Big…
