A lot of people write about what they see, but scientists have a uniquely effective way to observe the world and develop ...

Imagine that plants could tell us exactly when they're stressed, infected, or being eaten by insects, by lighting up. A new ...

A new experiment using rare-isotope beams has provided new insight into the origin of proton-rich isotopes known as p-nuclei.

Infectious diseases are a major cause of death worldwide, and diagnosing bacterial infections remains a challenge in medicine. And doing so reliably is more important than ever, given the increasing ...

Researchers at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida, have pushed a palm-sized superconducting coil to 42 tesla, placing a device small enough to hold in one hand within ...

Cracking a 15 year physics mystery, researchers measured the precise size of a proton. In A Nutshell A team in Germany used an unprecedentedly precise laser measurement of hydrogen to pin down the ...

When molecules fall apart, their electric charge doesn't stay put—it rearranges as bonds stretch and break. An international team of scientists has now tracked these ultrafast changes in the small ...

BEIJING -- The Shenzhou XXI crew members aboard China's Tiangong space station have made significant strides in terms of space medical experiments and physical science research over the past week, ...

(KTLA) – A 17-year-old whiz kid whose Southern California home was at the center of an FBI and hazmat squad probe last week said the search was all because of his science experiment. Federal ...

This emerging field of space radiobiology has strong and perhaps unexpected links to the far better established discipline of radiobiology in medical physics, where physicists work closely with ...

Attosecond pulses enable sub-femtosecond studies of ultrafast electron dynamics. Since 2001, pulse durations have shortened ...
