A new technique pioneered at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory reveals atomic-scale changes during catalytic reactions in real time...

The ins and outs of QCD

Jul 09, 2015 (SPX)

Quarks and antiquarks are the teeny, tiny building blocks with which all matter is built, binding together to form protons and neutrons in a process explained b...

Why do puddles stop spreading?

Jul 09, 2015 (SPX)

When you spill a bit of water onto a tabletop, the puddle spreads - and then stops, leaving a well-defined area of water with a sharp boundary. There's just one...

Microwaves force single atoms to absolute zero in quantum tech

Jul 07, 2015 (SPX)

Physicists at the University of Sussex have found a way of using everyday technology found in kitchen microwaves and mobile telephones to bring quantum physics ...
