Why is the Hercules Dwarf Galaxy so flat?

— 18:54 GMT | Astronomy

Through some of the very first scientific observations with the brand-new Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) in Arizona, an international team of astronomers has found that a recently discovered tiny companion galaxy to our Milky Way, named the Hercules Dwarf Galaxy, has truly exceptional properties: while basically all of its known peers in the realm of these tiny dwarf galaxies are rather round, this galaxy at a distance of 430,000 light years appears highly flattened, either the shape of a disk or of a cigar…

Sheet of carbon atoms acts like a billiard table

— 18:54 GMT | Physics

Physicists at UC Riverside have demonstrated that graphene - a one-atom thick sheet of carbon atoms arranged in hexagonal rings - can act as an atomic-scale billiard table, with electric charges acting as billiard balls. The finding underscores graphene's potential for serving as an excellent electronic material, such as silicon, that can be used to develop new kinds of transistors based on quantum physics. Because they encounter no obstacles, the electrons in graphene roam freely across the sheet of carbon, conducting electric charge with extremely low resistance. Study results appear in current issue of Science…
