Preliminary studies indicate that derivatives of verticillin A can kill certain types of glioma cells. MIT chemists have, for ...

For the first time, chemists have fully synthesized verticillin A, a notoriously complex fungal molecule with striking anticancer potential.

MIT researchers have devised a new molecular technique that lets electrons probe inside atomic nuclei, replacing massive particle accelerators with a tabletop setup. By studying radium monofluoride, ...

Scientists and experts will convene next week at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Scientific Forum, #ScientificForum, to discuss the role of nuclear science and technology in the ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Matter gets weird at the quantum scale, and among the oddities is the Efimov effect, a state in which the attractive forces between three or more atoms bind them together, even ...

While nuclear energy is ultimately effective in terms of capacity factor, the resources needed to reach this objective can often be prohibitive, especially for low-income countries. In this regard, ...

Stephen L. Levy receives funding from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. He is affiliated with CyteQuest, Inc. Richard Feynman, a famous theoretical physicist who ...

Giant atoms just got a boost as contenders for making the best quantum simulators and computers, as researchers controlled them for an unprecedentedly long time for a room-temperature experiment. Grab ...

Using optical tweezers composed of laser light, researchers have developed a novel way to manipulate individual atoms and create a state of hyper-entanglement. This breakthrough could lead to new ...

Until now, atoms have never been imaged interacting freely in space, but a new technique known as non-resolved microscopy has changed that. MIT physicists were able to successfully capture images of ...
