Comparing a traditional academic career path or BSD ('Big Shining Doctorate') with the real-life careers of four investigators. In a new perspective article, the four argue for more recognition of non ...

Researchers used the nonlinear optical response of atom-like defects in a diamond to build a tiny thermometer. This research may lead to temperature sensors that can work inside living cells and other ...

A research team has discovered a surprising phenomenon that could revolutionize how we think about signal amplification. Just two tiny vibrating units can, when connected with a delay, amplify their ...

The instability of Stokes waves (steady propagating waves on the surface of an ideal fluid with infinite depth) represents a fundamental challenge in the realm of nonlinear science. A team of ...

It’s the same math that explains how, under the right conditions, the atmosphere above a barren plain can produce a roiling ...
