During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical ...

A colossal bar of iron hidden inside the Ring Nebula may be the ghostly remains of a planet destroyed by a dying star.

At low temperatures, hydrogen atoms move less like particles and more like waves. This characteristic enables quantum tunneling, the passage of an atom through a barrier with a higher potential energy ...

Electron microscopy has become a vital tool in structural biology, enabling researchers to visualize biological macromolecules at near-atomic resolution. Recent advances have transformed it from a low ...

WASHINGTON - The Republican-controlled House passed a resolution honoring the life of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, condemning his assassination and urging Americans “to reject political ...

Resolve AI is the latest artificial intelligence company to grow its footprint in San Francisco. The software automation startup has leased 37,000 square feet at 350 Rhode Island Street in Potrero ...

Using the world’s most powerful X-ray laser, researchers have captured the hidden, never-ending vibrations of atoms inside molecules. This first-ever direct view of zero-point motion reveals that ...

Microscopes have long been scientists’ eyes into the unseen, revealing everything from bustling cells to viruses and nanoscale structures. However, even the most powerful optical microscopes have been ...

A new method in electron microscopy enables sub-20-picometer targeting of individual atoms without prior exposure, opening the door to atom-specific analysis and control. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

In a new study, physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have used a cloud of atoms chilled down to incredibly cold temperatures to simultaneously measure acceleration in three dimensions—a ...

The current media environment is rich with opinion. Thus, offering contextual background for the data behind opinions can be just as, if not more so, important than providing the opinion itself.
