During World War II, physicist Richard Feynman famously cracked safes at a secret atomic bomb project. His actions stemmed from pure curiosity, not malice. This playful approach to understanding ...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how scientists understand proteins—these are working molecules that drive nearly every process in the human body, from cell growth and immune defense to ...
For the first time, physicists have developed a model that explains the origins of unusually stable magic nuclei based ...
Scientists in Germany have shed light on how nanoscale imaging techniques like tip-enhanced Raman ...
After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.
European scientists discover a new state of quantum matter in CeRu4Sn6 that challenges physics and changes our view of the universe.
Sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) are gaining traction as a next-generation technology to complement the widely used lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). NIBs offer clear advantages versus LIBs in terms of ...
For a mere moment after the Big Bang, no neutrons or protons are thought to have existed. These neutral and positively charged particles, respectively, make up the center of all atoms today. But ...
