A research team led by Prof. Chang Hong from the National Time Service Center (NTSC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has developed a strontium optical lattice clock with both frequency ...
You might think that a hot object pushes atoms and molecules away due to radiation pressure. But a research team showed that for a polarizable atom, the opposite occurs: the hot object attracts it.
A designer metamaterial can engineer emitted "blackbody" radiation, a feat that transcends many of the limits governing natural materials and an advance that could potentially lead to the development ...
A designer metamaterial has shown it can engineer emitted “blackbody” radiation with an efficiency beyond the natural limits imposed by the material’s temperature, a team of researchers report in ...
Are black-body attractive forces at work in the Eagle Nebula? (Courtesy: NASA) Black-body radiation can give rise to a net attractive force between tiny objects. That is the claim made by physicists ...
