Record-breaking manipulation: MIT and ORNL scientists moved 40,000 atoms in 40 minutes, surpassing decades-old atomic engineering limits. How it works: Algorithms guide an electron beam to reposition ...

Many drug and antibody discovery pathways focus on intricately folded cell membrane proteins. When molecules of a drug candidate bind to these proteins, like a key going into a lock, they trigger ...

In 2010, Iris van Herpen, then only three years after establishing her eponymous couture brand, sent the first 3D-printed garment down the runway as part of her “Crystallization” collection. A top ...

Metabolomics is the large-scale study of small molecules (metabolites like amino acids and lipids) that are the end products ...

It's been 37 years since scientists first demonstrated the ability to move single atoms, suggesting the possibility of designing materials atom by atom to customize their properties. Today there are ...

Despite being the most abundant particles in the universe, neutrinos are notoriously difficult to detect. Could launching a ...

Long-held assumptions tell us that atoms with the same number of protons, neutrons and electrons are indistinguishable, but ...

Silicon carbide dust is forged in the atmospheres of dying, carbon-rich stars and later scattered across the cosmos. But exactly how these grains form has long remained a mystery.

An unusual crystal created by America’s first nuclear bomb test could help scientists understand a structure needed for ...

Scientists have succeeded in observing the hidden structure of PMN-PT crystals used in ultrasound, revolutionizing modern ...
