Strongly interacting electrons are central to many unusual electric and magnetic properties of materials. However, investigating these systems has been challenging, given their complexity. Using ...

Recently, femtosecond laser techniques have been developed that are capable of bringing gas molecules to extremely fast rotation in a very short time, while keeping their translational motion ...

Chemical reactions taking place in outer space can now be more easily studied on Earth. An international team of researchers from the University of Aarhus in Denmark and the Max Planck Institute for ...

Our understanding of the mechanisms by which ducts and lobules develop is derived from model organisms and three-dimensional (3D) cell culture models wherein mammalian epithelial cells undergo ...

To make a solid crystal, molecules are generally so tightly packed together there's no room for any movement. It means that solid crystals -- despite their strength and durability -- have generally ...

Note: This video is designed to help the teacher better understand the lesson and is NOT intended to be shown to students. It includes observations and conclusions that students are meant to make on ...

While molecular machines driven by chemical, light or thermal energies can be found throughout nature, little progress has been made toward creating synthetic counterparts. The gap between nature and ...

A team of energy researchers has discovered that molecular motion can be predicted with high accuracy when confining molecules in small nanocages. Their theoretical method is suitable for screening ...

The argument over why honey is so sticky has been settled, and it seems both sides were right all along. Sugar molecules do and don't slow down the water molecules in this viscous fluid, according to ...

Molecular reactant Ball-and-stick model of carbon monoxide. The rate at which the molecule reacts with helium ions can be controlled using microwaves. (Courtesy: Benjah-bmm27) Through new experiments, ...

Red light stop: The experiment uses multiple frequencies of light to cool the CaOH atoms to a fraction of a degree above absolute zero. (Courtesy: John Doyle) Physicists in the US have created ...
