Corrosion-resistant metallic materials are required in applications such as rocket engines, nuclear power stations and chemical industry. An alloy of nickel, chromium and molybdenum is often used. However, a new study shows that this alloy rusts in a previously unknown way. Buildings, modes of transport, artworks and music instruments – we encounter metallic materials almost everywhere in society.

By capturing a weak signal from outer space, a research team was able to study the atmosphere of an exoplanet 300 light-years from Earth. The study shows that the planet’s gas envelope contains a specific isotope of carbon, which indicates that it was formed a long way from its host star. Exoplanets are planets located in solar systems other than our own. The first confirmed discovery was made in

Every day, huge amounts of satellite images are collected from the Earth's surface – data that shows everything from deforestation to urbanization and the effects of climate change. Now, with the support of the Swedish National Space Board, a new competence center is being established to make it easier for social scientists to use space-based information. The new national center, the Swedish Compe

Scientists have found an alternative way to produce atoms of the superheavy element livermorium. The new method opens up the possibility of creating another element that could be the heaviest in the world so far: number 120. The search for new elements comes from the dream of finding a variant that is sufficiently stable to be long-lived and not prone to immediate decay. There is a theory in nucle

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. How come bees always find their way home, not to mention in a straight line? What is it about the insect brain that allows them to navigate so easily? Could we copy that function? A step in this direction has now been taken by a group of scientists in a project combining the fields of biology, physics, nanoscience and
