Unlike the standard view of dark matter as a cloud of heavy, sluggish particles with no internal structure, the new research ...

SLNs are a type of nanocarrier used in drug delivery and vaccine development. They are composed of stabilized lipids and can ...

More recently, hetero-structure devices with clear quantum-mechanical behaviour have been reported, ... A wire with a solid gold particle, imaged at 540 °C ...

Bulk-solid waste materials present unique handling challenges. Presented here is a discussion on how to navigate those ...

Structure of solids and liquids is the study of the physical properties of matter in which there is a non-negligible interaction between the constituent atoms or molecules. While the atoms or ...

Researchers successfully freeze light into a supersolid, a groundbreaking discovery with potential applications in quantum ...

Particle physicists have uncovered a large, hidden void in Khufu’s Pyramid, the largest pyramid in Giza, Egypt – built between 2600 and 2500 BC. The discovery, published in Nature, was made ...

These scientists routinely study the subtle properties of solids by bombarding them with charged particles and watching for those that bounce off, get stuck or pass through to emerge, somehow changed.

Proton beams with giga-electron-volt (GeV) energies—once thought to be achievable only with massive particle accelerators—may soon be generated in compact setups thanks to a breakthrough by ...

“To understand these concentrated particle suspensions, we want to be able to look at the nanoscale structure, but the particles are so incredibly crowded together that imaging these structures ...

The cosmic web, the large-scale structure that links galaxies across the universe, may in part be the result of countless microscopic "vortexes" created by dark matter. (Image credit: Getty Images) ...
