Is there some evidence suggesting that humans are the Galaxy’s only intelligent species? Enrico Fermi thought so – and he was a pretty smart guy. Could he be right? In 1950, the famous physicist made ...

纳米酶是一类具有生物催化功能的纳米材料，能够基于特定的纳米结构催化天然酶的底物并作为酶的代替品，这一概念由中国科学家阎锡蕴院士首先提出。国际纯粹与应用化学联合会（IUPAC）将纳米酶技术列为2022年化学领域十大新兴技术之一。基于酶/纳米酶的催化治疗 ...

The Fermi paradox boils down to a simple question: where is everybody? In other words, if we’re not alone in the universe, then why haven’t we seen any evidence for aliens yet? To date, there is no ...

Stem and leaf diagrams make it easier to read lists of number Stem and leaf diagrams are formed by splitting the number into two parts, the ‘stem’ and the ‘leaf. For example: In the number ...

One surprising development in this area was the announcement by Philipp Gegenwart of a second higher-energy scale on the metallic side of the temperature–magnetic field phase diagram of YbRh 2 ...

This is most apparent in the area of superconducting research, where the Fermi liquid theory — which has has formed the foundation of much of what we thought we knew about interacting fermions ...

Their findings, published in Nature Physics, unveiled a Fermi-liquid-like phase occurring ... the copper oxide or cuprate ...

While we wouldn’t want to document a computer motherboard with ASCII schematics, it’s great for a quick-and-dirty circuit diagrams. Not exactly schematics, but [Duckman] has some Arduino ...

Have you been paying attention to current events recently? See how many of these 10 questions you can get right. Compiled by Jeremy Engle A year into this devastating war, what are you feeling ...
