The same phenomenon was later confirmed for neutrons, helium atoms, and even large molecules, making matter-wave diffraction ...

Physicists have used a new optical centrifuge to control the rotation of molecules suspended in liquid helium nano-droplets, bringing them a step closer to demystifying the behavior of exotic, ...

Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a ...

Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), shoots electrons through a frozen sample. The images formed by the electrons ...

SLAC researchers develop an approach to better guide the preparation of cell slices for cryogenic electron tomography imaging ...

The successful test is a proof-of-concept for Overview Energy's plans to deliver solar energy to Earth from satellites. The Northern Virginia startup hopes to conduct orbital ...

Harvard researchers have found that silica, long thought to lack the right properties for optical metasurfaces, can sometimes ...

We suspect there are three kinds of people in the world. People who have access to a Michelson Interferometer and are glad, those who don’t have one and don’t know what one is, and a ...

This study explores how optical beam splitters provide a conceptual and operational link between classical and quantum descriptions of light. In the classical picture, they are modeled through ...

Why not take the same strands of light that already power the world’s fiber-optic cables and let them travel freely through the air?

A whiskey sour for the distilled spirits industry. Consumers are souring on drinking alcohol. And that’s one of a host of complex reasons why Jim Beam is placing its main distillery in Clermont, ...
