Electron spin can create differences between mirror-image molecules, a potential explanation for why life favors one ...

The combination of cutting‑edge features is fitting for a facility serving multiple fields including microbiology, food ...

In materials science, if you can understand the "texture" of a material—how its internal patterns form and shift—you can ...

Superconductors, materials that can conduct electricity with a resistance of zero, have proved to be highly promising for the ...

Quantum computers, devices that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could tackle some tasks that are ...

Dolomite has been notoriously impossible to replicate in a lab because of recurring defects in mineral layers—but not anymore ...

Electron microscopy (EM) has become an indispensable tool for investigating the nanoscale structure of a large range of materials, across physical and life sciences. It is vital for characterisation ...

A new analysis reveals what happens when very short or narrow electron beams encounter a particle. The research is published in the New Journal of Physics. Scientists should be able to achieve a new ...

In classical physics, a vacuum is a total void—a true manifestation of nothingness. But quantum physics says that empty space isn’t really empty. Instead, it’s buzzing with “virtual” particles ...

A model for the structure of the electron is proposed, in which the electron is composed of electric tripole, i.e., a +1 ...
