A team at the University of Minnesota discovered that changing a metal film's thickness by just a few nanometers can ...

Why do certain surfaces behave very differently from what theoretical calculations suggest? Scientists long assumed that the ...

How are heavy elements formed in the universe? Extremely neutron-rich atomic nuclei and their beta-decay rates play an important role in this process. Until now, it has been very difficult to ...

The mysterious Amaterasu particle may not be a proton at all. New research suggests that some of the most extreme cosmic rays ...

Today we're looking at Atomic Force Microscopy! I built a "macro-AFM" to demonstrate the principles of an atomic force ...

Ultracold polar molecular gases provide a powerful platform for exploring quantum many-body physics with strong, long-range, and anisotropic interactions. Here, the authors explore quantum phases via ...
