A Giant Wave Twice the Size of the Milky Way Galaxy Rolling Through the Perseus Galaxy

Astronomers have detected a huge wave some 200,000 light years across rolling through the Perseus galaxy.  They think it could be something like a Kelvin-Helmholtz wave. 

Photonic Hypercrystals

The prediction of materials that alter the interaction between light and matter has become a reality as photonic hypercrystals have been created in the lab. These materials could be a boon to products like solar panels and Li-Fi.  

Transparent Conductors

Scientists have discovered a unique way to produce transparent conductors that are inexpensive and versatile and that could be the future of microelectronics.
