New research indicates protons aren't as big as scientists thought. They're 4% smaller than the best previous measurement, and that has major implications.

New research by engineers at the University of Illinois combines atomic-scale experimentation with computer modeling to determine how much energy it takes to bend multilayer graphene—a question that ...

Scientists have simulated every atom of a light-harvesting structure in a photosynthetic bacterium that generates energy for the organism. The simulated organelle behaves just like its counterpart in ...

The public might not even know that scientists from the University of Tartu in cooperation with Finnish colleagues have established our "own" Estonian-Finnish beamline at the Swedish national MAX IV Laboratory in Lund. The FinEstBeAMS, which was completed…

One of the great counterintuitive puzzles of quantum mechanics is wave-particle duality. This is the phenomenon in which objects behave both like particles and like waves. Numerous experiments have shown that a single particle—an electron or a photon, for…

The coldest chemical reaction in the known universe took place in what appears to be a chaotic mess of lasers. The appearance deceives: Deep within that painstakingly organized chaos, in temperatures ...

Theoretical prediction of molecular bond energy is of key importance for understanding molecular properties. Herein, neural networks are employed to predict the molecular bond energies. In addition, the combination of artificial intelligence and theoretical…

Researchers at the University of Tokyo introduced a new physical model that predicts the dynamics of glassy materials based solely on their local degree of atomic structural order. Using computer simulations, ...

Scientists invent a way to see attosecond electron motions with an X-ray laser. Called XLEAP, the new method developed by SLAC will provide sharp views of electrons in chemical processes that take place in billionths of a billionth of a second and drive crucial…

If you use a vacuum-insulated thermos to help keep your coffee hot, you may know it's a good insulator because heat energy has a hard time moving through empty space. Vibrations of atoms or molecules, ...

Researchers of color particularly vulnerable to “unprofessional” comments

Odd enough to potentially model the strangeness of the physical world, complex numbers with “imaginary” components are rooted in the familiar.
