Laëtitia Farinacci assembles atomic building blocks to create previously unknown properties. She has now taken up a Professorship in Solid-State Physics in Würzburg, where she will be a part of the ...

The tiny QR code was constructed using silver atoms placed by an ultra-precise scanning tunnelling microscope.

Scientists from the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw, in collaboration with teams from the National University ...

Some of the largest engines ever built get talked about a lot, but the other end of the spectrum doesn't always get the same attention. Yet the smallest working electric motors are arguably equally ...

Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which garnered a Nobel Prize in 1953, brought into clear view structures inside ...

The International Space Station is now home to an even more capable quantum laboratory, where NASA cools atoms to nearly ...

A team led by Raju Tomer, professor of biological sciences at Columbia University, has created a new design for microscopes and microscope lenses that could push 3D tissue imaging beyond ...

Forty years after its invention, atomic force microscopy has evolved from a simple surface imaging tool into one of the most versatile measurement platforms in nanoscience. This Comment traces the key ...

The race to build the first truly useful quantum computer just got more exciting. A quantum computer made from extremely cold atoms has now passed some of the most important milestones towards ...

Physicists have discovered a surprising new “Island of Inversion” in a place no one expected: among nuclei where the number of protons equals the number of neutrons. For decades, these strange regions ...

Wagering on over/unders, also known as totals, is common in sports betting. This is one of the most popular betting markets for games, along with point spreads and money lines. We'll go over ...

A computer-assisted design schematic showing how an electron beam is routed within a microscope. After going through the sample, it crosses a bright cyan beam representing the laser beam. A schematic ...
