Understanding the properties of different materials is an important step in material design. X-ray absorption spectroscopy ...

From the burning of wood to the action of medicines, the properties and behavior of matter are governed by the way chemical ...

Researchers have identified a previously unknown “hook-like” domain in the tail of the kinesin-2 motor protein that explains how these molecular machines select the right cargo inside cells.

Scientists now believe highly magnetised neutron stars, or magnetars, are a significant source of gold and other heavy ...

A sophisticated analysis of experimental ARPES data confirmed that the electronic properties of each chain are truly one-dimensional, and calculations further predict an exciting phase transition. For ...

Researchers from Technische Universität Dresden developed a compact laser drill capable of penetrating ice efficiently, ...

A mission to search for the origin-of-life on Titan, Saturn's largest moon, will be aided by University of Otago – Ōtākou ...

Electricity is the lifeblood of modern life, but even the most efficient power lines lose energy along the way. For decades, scientists have searched for materials that could carry electric current ...

Before a spectrometer can do any useful work, it needs to be calibrated to identify wavelengths correctly. This is usually done by detecting several characteristic peaks or dips in a well-known ...

Native Infrared Spectroscopy spectroscopy produces high-resolution molecular maps of live cells and cell organelles.
