For decades, scientists believed that lead-208, a "doubly magic" and highly stable atomic nucleus, was perfectly spherical.
More than 75 years after its initial discovery, scientists have created an organometallic molecule containing the ...
Polyphosphate (polyP) exists in all life forms; however, its biological functions in metazoans are understudied. Here, we explored Drosophila as the first genetic model to explore polyP biology in ...
For the first time, researchers transformed light into a quantum crystalline structure to create a "supersolid" that's both solid and liquid at the same time. Here’s what that means, and why it's such ...
A breakthrough in heavy-element chemistry shatters long-held assumptions about transuranium elements. Researchers have ...
For professor of chemistry and physics Richard Zare, the goal for CHEM 29N: Chemistry in the Kitchen is not to make students ...
MSK researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a ...
Trees and plants in general have evolved to a system of optimal combination of functional and structural performance in a hierarchical structure starting from different ... processing and wood ...
Together with new calculations of the structure of atomic nuclei, theoretical physicists from the Technical University of Darmstadt and Leibniz University Hannover were able to show that measurements ...
