MIT scientists found that when people veer more than 13 degrees off-course in a crowd, orderly walking breaks down into ...

In an effort to understand how brain cells exchange chemical messages, scientists say they have successfully used a highly ...

For the past 40 years, Fan has been deeply immersed in the development of microdisplay technology. In 1985, he left his ...

Metals, as most know them, are good conductors of electricity. That's because the countless electrons in a metal like gold or ...

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility for nuclear physics research at DOE’s Brookhaven National Laboratory, entered its 25th and final ...

Christopher Chyba held a hollow, dark cylinder made of manganese, zinc, and iron in his Princeton lab, looking skeptically at ...

The Analyzer for Cusp Electrons (ACE) is designed to measure electron activity in the region of the northern magnetospheric ...

Scientists have unlocked a way to read magnetic orientation at record-breaking speeds using terahertz radiation. Modern hard drives can store several million megabytes – enough for hundreds of ...

Remarkably, the electrons arrange themselves according to the orientation of their intrinsic angular momentum, the spin, creating a spin current that flows perpendicular to the layers. At the ...

kicking them in the direction of the laser. If the plasma was perfectly stable and uniform, this electron beam would be able to pass through smoothly, like fast cars weaving between a smooth flow ...

In a remarkable development, researchers have successfully turned light into a supersolid for the first time, paving the way for new insights into the unusual quantum states of matter. This ...
