Cornell University researchers have identified a calcium-sensitive structural “gate” inside a bacterial enzyme that toggles ...

Curious Kids is a series for children in which we ask experts to answer questions from kids. What is the smallest thing in the universe tha ...

A persistent asymmetry in fusion exhaust has challenged researchers for years. New simulations show that plasma core rotation, working together with cross-field drifts, determines where particles land ...

When Texas A&M University-Central Texas Assistant Professor of engineering, Praveen Malali, 41, is in his mechanical engineering technology lab, he is very much — pardon the pun — in his ...

At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same time. Matter no longer behaves like solid objects moving along clear paths.

Physicists have now managed to track the passage of time inside a quantum event without using anything that looks like a traditional clock. Instead of ticking gears or oscillating crystals, they read ...

A long-standing problem in seeing fast electron motion is solved, opening new paths for better superconductors and faster wireless systems. An artist’s depiction of a superfluid wave propagating ...

The decision permitted the Trump administration to continue restricting inspections of the conditions inside immigration detention compounds. By Zach Montague Reporting from Washington A federal judge ...

During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical products. This process entails the movement of both electrons (i.e., negatively ...

Scientists at the X-ray free-electron laser SwissFEL have realized a long-pursued experimental goal in physics: to show how electrons dance together. The technique, known as X-ray four-wave mixing, ...

SplashValve combines mechanical finesse with magnetic coupling for proportional motion. Precision-lapped stainless steel and Kevlar belts help keep performance rock-solid under pressure. Watch, read ...
