Quantum mechanics makes it easy to describe hydrogen, the simplest atom, but bigger atoms are more complicated owing to interactions between their electrons. It is especially difficult to predict the ...
Physics and Astronomy |Graphene is the two-dimensional crystalline form of carbon: a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in hexagons, like a sheet of chicken wire with an atom at each nexus. As free-standing objects, such...
Physics and Astronomy |Using the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina, the largest cosmic-ray observatory in the world, a team of scientists from 17 countries found that the sources of the highest-energy particles are not ...
Physics and Astronomy |The LHC is a scientific instrument of unprecedented complexity, and at 27 kilometres in circumference, the world’s largest superconducting installation. Cooling the first sector of the machine to a te...
Physics and Astronomy |Now astrophysicists at The University of Arizona, Los Alamos National Laboratory and the University of Adelaide (Australia) have discovered a mechanism that might produce these high-energy gamma rays....
Physics and Astronomy |But now, Cornell researchers have extended a powerful technique to increase by fourfold the size of a protein that can be analyzed, to those containing more than 2,000 amino acids, up from about 500....
Life Sciences |Bringing the study of lightning research into the laboratory Lightning, a high-voltage discharge that strikes quickly and sometimes fatally, is very difficult to study. A new...
Physics and Astronomy |Dynamic ice A technique borrowed from the surface physics community is helping chemists and atmospheric scientists understand the complex chemical reactions that occur on low...
Life Sciences |Jumps in space-time might explain the curious survival of energetic particles. Space and time must be grainy, not smooth. Otherwise high-energy particles produced in astrophysi...
