Neutrino astronomy and the effort to build a cubic-kilometer-sized detector at the South Pole are recognized by the 2026 ...

Julian Klein and Frances Ross explain how electron microscopes are becoming tools for engineering defects inside crystalline materials.

A simplified model of the heart’s mitral valve shows that flow fluctuations can cause a soft valve to close at about one-tenth the pressure required under steady flow. Figure 1: High-speed images show ...

The discovery of a thermal version of the Hall effect in common semiconductors challenges our understanding of how magnetic ...

Pairs of photons provide a gentle way to measure the impact of a molecule’s environment on its ultrafast dynamics.

A new technique for generating solid fibers from a liquid jet is easier to model—and thus easier to control—than past methods ...

Researchers have proposed that long-range molecular dipole correlations alter water’s electrical properties when it’s confined in a gap a few nanometers wide. In 2018, researchers confined a film of ...

Simplified models of systems with fast and slow dynamics can miss a narrow region of phase space—a “singular funnel”—leading to misleading predictions of the system’s behavior. Figure 1: Systems ...

The shape of gold nanostructures changes depending on how they are imaged. This electron-microscope image shows a nanosized cube wrapped in a gold layer. The tiny package is the result of reactions ...
