🔄FROM THE ARCHIVE: Scientists once thought their structures impossible. Now, the discovery of the oldest man-made quasicrystal could expand the world of nuclear forensics.
The mushroom cloud produced by the Trinity test in Alamogordo, New Mexico, shown here just nine seconds after detonation, stretched over seven miles tall.
Scientists like Bonamici who seek to understand the components of past atomic weapons must typically analyze radioactive debris or gases, but those signatures decay comparatively quickly. A quasicrystal, however, is a permanent physical fingerprint of the conditions inside the nuclear fireball it formed within.
To accomplish this, he says, you need a tile shape whose angles equal a full 360 degrees when arranged trouble. With each interior angle measuring 108 degrees, three pentagons leave a gap and four begin to overlap.

How Scientists Are Using Bacteria To Make Salmon HealthierBacteria-free fish fry put scientists on the track to make fish more disease resistant. Researchers, including those from NTNU, are breeding bacteria-free fish fry. This is more important than you think. “We’re managing to keep the fry bacteria-free for up to 12 weeks after the eggs hatch,” says

Scientists Synthesize a Tunable Ferromagnetic Quasicrystal With High Phase PurityResearchers provide direct evidence that the magnetic properties of the novel icosahedral quasicrystals depend on the electrons-per-atom ratio. Professor Ryuji Tamura's team at Tokyo University of Science synthesized a novel icosahedral quasicrystal (i QC) made of gold, gallium, and dysprosium. T

Songbirds, dusk and clear skies: Scientists explore migratory flightsMigratory songbirds typically fly under the cover of darkness, but the reason for their takeoff timing eluded researchers. Now, studies suggests the birds rely on the onset of dusk and the suggestion of fair skies ahead as signs for taking flight.
