Lithium-ion battery optimization and safety are crucial to reducing cell aging. In this case, one of the most important elements is the particle size of the bioactive constituents such as cathode, ...

Quantum physics once shocked scientists by revealing that particles can behave like waves—and now, that strange behavior has ...

In order to cut, grind and polish softer materials, an abrasive is typically used. It is either a natural or a synthetic mineral, which is applied liberally to shape or finish a workpiece to a ...

Positronium shouldn't last long enough to be interesting. It's an "atom" assembled from an electron and its antimatter twin — ...

IMAGE: A reconstructed image of the photosystem I complex. (Image by Raimund Fromme/Arizona State University) TEMPE, Ariz. – Unraveling the molecular basis of life is an age-old quest of humanity. A ...

Experiments were conducted to establish a laser diffraction-based method for the determination of lactose powder particle size. This was accomplished using a Bettersizer 2600 equipped with a fully ...

An international team of scientists has for the first time used an X-ray free-electron laser to unravel the structure of an intact virus particle on the atomic level. The method dramatically reduces ...

Researchers built a silver-grooved chip that channels laser energy into nanometer-spaced peaks, beating the diffraction limit and aiding light-matter studies. (Nanowerk News) Physics is full of pesky ...

Using high-powered laser beams, researchers have simulated conditions inside a planet three times as large as Earth. The pressures achieved in this study, up to 1,314 gigapascals (GPa), allowed ...
