An atom is so small that a single drop of water contains more than a billion atoms. Although tiny, atoms are mostly empty space. The simplified model of the atom is that of a cloud of negative ...
Cadmium-based nanostructures are opening new possibilities in near-infrared (NIR) technology, from medical imaging to fiber ...
A research team led by Professor Sun Qing-Feng in collaboration with Professor He Lin's research group from Beijing Normal ...
Our bodies are always moving, even when we don’t realize it. We churn through a solar system on a wobbly planet, stand upon ...
Lithium-6 is a crucial material for nuclear fusion reactors, but isolating it is challenging – now researchers have found a ...
University of Queensland researchers have made a breakthrough in muonic atom research, clearing the way for new nuclear ...
Physicists at Washington University have forged ahead in the field of quantum mechanics by creating a new phase of matter ...
A new map of cosmic expansion suggests that dark energy evolves over time, hinting that the universe doesn’t work the way we ...
While these materials hold many interesting properties, scientists have long wanted to probe thin 2D metals. Now, researchers ...
UC Santa Barbara researchers are working to move cold atom quantum experiments and applications from the laboratory tabletop to chip-based systems, opening new possibilities for sensing, precision ...
But we weren’t always leaders in scientific advancement. It wasn’t until the 1950 establishment of the National Science Foundation (NSF), the largest funding source for basic research in the ...
The Atomic Energy Commission was flying captive balloons last week over its Nevada test site. Magnesium flares, burned at varying altitudes, would simulate atom bombs and indicate how high a bomb ...
