If you think of a single atom as a grain of sand, then a wavelength of visible light—which is a thousand times larger than ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) At the scale of individual atoms, materials behave in ways that defy everyday intuition. Stretch a metal wire by a few micrometers and its resistance changes only slightly.
The hyperfine structure of radium monofluoride has been measured by researchers in the US and elsewhere with such precision ...
Scientists have taken another giant step towards building the most precise clock ever imagined—one that could display not ...
Physicists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a revolutionary way to look inside an atom’s ...
When nucleic acids like DNA or RNA build up in a cell's cytoplasm, it sets off an alarm call for the immune system. Enzymes usually clear these nucleic acids before they cause an issue, but when these ...
A team of UC Riverside engineers has discovered why a key solid-state battery material stays remarkably cool during operation ...
Cryo-electron microscopy has exposed the structure of a bacterial virus with unprecedented detail. This is the first structure of a virus able to infect Staphylococcus epidermidis, and high-resolution ...
