De Vinck guides the reader through stories that make us human, from an orange in a Hong Kong market, a tricycle in Hiroshima, ...

Abstract: We report on measurements of frequency shifts in a microwave cesium vapor cell atomic clock based on coherent population trapping (CPT). The dependence of the clock frequency on numerous ...

Researchers at Penn State have developed the first silicon-free computer using atom-thin materials. This breakthrough could reshape the future of electronics, paving the way for ultra-efficient, ...

From spines on neurons to pollen on an insect’s eye, the winners of Nikon’s Small World photo contest offer a kaleidoscopic glimpse into a tiny world. These water fleas (Daphnia sp.) can reproduce ...

When scientists squeezed a drop of water between two diamonds to endure pressures tens of thousands of times higher than ...

Researchers in Göttingen, Germany, have elucidated the structure and function of otoferlin, a protein that plays a crucial ...

Using focused electron beams and nanomanipulators, scientists can now cut and shape metal samples just billionths of a meter ...

Scientists have found a way to make hydrogen peroxide from vibration instead of electricity or light, using motion and water to create a clean oxidant.

Researchers utilize nonlinear optical microscopy to enhance understanding of laser light interaction with materials and their ...

Materials scientists can learn a lot about a sample material by shooting lasers at it. With nonlinear optical microscopy — a ...

Breakthrough will allow scientists to visualize atomic-scale structures using lower-cost and lower-energy microscopes ...
