An image of two coalescing water droplets. The figure to the left shows a snapshot from a molecular dynamics simulation, where the small dots represent water molecules. The figure to the right illustrates the interface transfer coefficient for heat transfer, where the blue color means that the resistance to transfer is large. It is difficult to transport heat into or out of the region where the two droplets merge.

The large (peanut shell)-shaped bulge at the centre of the disc galaxy NGC 128.

Britain’s businesses are being urged to better protect themselves from cyber criminals after government research into cyber security found two thirds of large businesses experienced a cyber breach or attack in the past year.

The gravitational pull of Saturn changes the amount of particles spraying from the south pole of Saturn's active moon Enceladus at different points in its orbit. More particles make the plume appear much brighter in the infrared image at left.

U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) engineers in the Space Robotics Laboratory (SRL) demonstrate end-to-end robotic servicing rehearsals of the Front-end Robotics Enabling Near-term Demonstration (FREND) robotic arm using a remote ground station and operator to simulate on-orbit robotics.

Using a layer of molybdenum disulfide less than one nanometer thick, researchers in Rice University's Thomann lab were able to design a system that absorbed more than 35 percent of incident light in the 400- to 700-nanometer wavelength range.

A method of manufacturing of containers and their nano-structure depending on the temperature.

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis hope that nanoparticle technology can help reduce the need for fertilizer, creating a more sustainable way to grow crops such as mung beans.
