Thorium-229's unique nuclear transitions may lead to a revolutionary nuclear clock, with enhanced stability and sensitivity ...

The experiments were led by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in collaboration with other institutions. By ...

THE structure of the coronene molecule, C 24 H 12, is of particular interest in view of its peculiarly high symmetry (Fig. 1). With regard to electron distribution and bond-lengths, the structure ...

A new study reveals that PtBi2, an otherwise ordinary-looking crystal, hosts an entirely new form of superconductivity ...

Gold has a reputation for being one of the most stable, predictable elements in the periodic table, but under crushing ...

In an effort to reveal the inner workings of a protein that serves as a cell's damage detection system, scientists at Johns Hopkins and the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich (LMU) have published ...

Figure 1: a, Amino acid sequences of recombinant Sso7d and Sac7d. The molecular surface of Sso7d is irregular with numerous ridges and valleys (Fig. 2a). The excellent matching of shapes and charges ...

Matter with “forbidden” symmetries was once thought to be confined to lab experiments, but is now being found in some of the ...

For calcium, which is a metal, the metallic radius is often used to represent its size. The accepted value for the radius of a calcium atom is approximately 0.23 nm (nanometers), which is equivalent ...

A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition and ordered crystalline structure. A rock, on the other hand, is a naturally occurring aggregate of one or more ...
