At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

Physicists have finally watched positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter twin, behave like a rippling quantum wave instead of a tiny billiard ball. In a set of ...

Minerals form the building blocks of almost everything on Earth. They are made up of crystals—regular, repeating atomic ...

POSSIBILITIES for X-ray crystal structure analysis of proteins are limited by the minimum spacings observed in diffraction. For many proteins, the minimum spacing is about 2.5 A.—a limit which does ...

Watching proteins move as they drive the chemical reactions that sustain life is one of the grand challenges of modern ...

Condensed-matter physics and materials science have a silo problem. Although researchers in these fields have access to vast amounts of data – from experimental records of crystal structures and ...

X-ray diffraction methods lie at the foundation of materials science. Determination of the crystal structures of natural minerals and, later, of crystals grown in the laboratory led to our ...

Electronics waste energy when handling light and electricity. A new material helps reduce this loss and improve system ...

Panasonic Industry Europe will be showcasing its latest product solutions for IoT, industrial automation, smart home & building ...

It may sound like an oxymoron, but this massive nanoparticle made up of 7,000 sodium atoms is the largest to exhibit such ...
