In a groundbreaking achievement, physicists have successfully peered inside the nucleus of a molecule using electrons as a ...

What makes some plastics stick to metal without any glue? Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have peered into the ...

Sometimes big breakthroughs in science come from very small changes, curiosity, and more than a little luck. A new study from ...

For all its possibilities, nature tends to replay one particular scene over and over again: the confrontation between matter and light. It stages the scene in a practically infinite number of ways, ...

Scientists recently created a never-before-seen four-atom molecule — the coldest of its kind ever made. Researchers created the oddball molecule — a strange configuration of sodium-potassium with an ...

ITHACA, N.Y. ---- A long-sought goal of scientists has been to shrink the transistor, the basic building block of electronic circuits, to smaller and smaller size scales. Scientists at Cornell ...

Chemists have achieved a new feat in the realm of chemical design and synthesis: They've helped create the first example of a synthetic molecule, with an asymmetric oxygen atom as its centerpiece, ...
