These chemical oddities may explain why Earth seems to be deficient in certain elements — and could prove useful in catalysts ...

In 1972, a pregnant woman’s blood sample was collected for routine tests. It was here that something unusual was discovered: her blood lacked a surface antigen, known as the AnWj antigen, which was ...

Statins are a cornerstone of heart health, but muscle pain and weakness cause many patients to quit taking them. Scientists have now identified the precise molecular trigger behind these side effects.

Scientists have shattered the diffraction limit, using continuous-wave lasers to resolve images at 0.1 nanometers.

There is no measurement that can directly observe the wave function of a quantum mechanical system, but the wave function is still enormously useful as its (complex) square represents the probability ...

Even given a set of possible quantum states for our cosmos, it's impossible for us to determine which one of them is correct ...

Researchers at the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA published a step-by-step framework for determining the ...

UCSF scientists discover that the spindle, the structure that divides chromosomes equally during mitosis, actually gets stronger when it is stretched.

A century ago, Erwin Schrödinger came up with an equation that says how the quantum world behaves. Now scientists are asking ...

CERN's ALICE collaboration reveals how fragile deuterons survive high-energy collisions, impacting models of cosmic rays and ...

These chemical oddities may explain why Earth seems to be deficient in certain elements — and could prove useful in catalysts ...

For years, scientists noticed that magnetic fields could improve steel, but no one knew exactly why. New simulations reveal that magnetism changes how iron atoms behave, making it harder for carbon ...
