Are quantum particles polygamous? New experiments suggest some of them abandon long-standing partnerships when ...

Wildfire smoke is no longer just a short‑lived air quality problem drifting over cities for a few hazy days. New research ...

Precursors of the molecules needed for the origin of life may have been generated by chemical reactions promoted by iron-rich particles from meteors or volcanic eruptions on Earth approximately 4.4 ...

Unlike regular spherical colloids such as silica or polystyrene beads, patchy particles carry a considerable amount of self-assembly information. For example, their coordination number, bond angles ...

A neutrino is one of the most well-known, and arguably most mysterious, particles in all of physics. This is because while they exist in vast quantities throughout the universe, they are also very ...

STOCKHOLM — Three U.S.-based scientists won the Nobel Prize in chemistry Wednesday for their work on quantum dots — particles just a few atoms in diameter that can release very bright colored light ...

To accelerate waste cleanup at the Hanford site, DOE awarded Argonne $3.9 million to pursue scientific breakthroughs in plutonium chemistry DOE/Argonne National Laboratory Argonne researchers are ...

A new nanostructured material may lead to surfaces that stay dry forever, never need cleaning and are able to repel bacteria and even prevent mold and fungi growth. A new nanostructured material with ...

SO-QFT simulation of 2D hydrogenic electron. (A) Real projections of the ground ψ0,0 state (left) and a first excited ψ1,1 state (right) of 2D hydrogen. Note that the plots here do not reflect the ...

Ensuring instruments are in proper working order is a critical aspect of making any analytical measurement. Failure to confirm system suitability can lead to uncertainty in results and incorrectly ...
