(Delft University of Technology) How does light pass through a tiny hole? For the first time, Dr. Aurele Adam and Professor Paul Planken of Delft University of Technology have succeeded in mapping this process properly. Their research also promises a significant improvement in Terahertz microscopy in the long term, a potentially interesting new imaging technique, and Terahertz microspectroscopy, a technique for identifying tiny quantities of substances using light. Their findings are published in this week's Optics Express.

(King Abdullah University of science & Technology (KAUST)) Research proposals from four universities selected for global significance and potential economic impact in the areas of applied mathematics, molecular photovoltaics, nanomaterials and computational science. Cornell University, the University of Oxford, Stanford University, and Texas A&M University will be the inaugural KAUST Global Research Partnership centers.

You've probably heard that Hawaii's Kilauea developed a new vent back in March that has been spewing out volcanic fumes. The fumes from the volcano react with the air and...

(Michigan State University) Designer labels have a lot of cachet -- a principle that's equally true in fashion and physics. The future of nuclear physics is in designer isotopes -- the relatively new power scientists have to make specific rare isotopes to solve scientific problems and open doors to new technologies, according to Bradley Sherrill, a University Distinguished Professor of physics and associate director for research at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University.
