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, ...

Every medication in your cabinet, every material in your phone's battery, and virtually every compound that makes modern life work started as a molecular guess, with scientists hypothesizing that a ...

A new study explains how birds maintain sharp eyesight despite their retinas lacking blood vessels, finally resolving a centuries-old biological paradox.

By analyzing the archival data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), an international team of astronomers has inspected the outflow of a nearby galaxy known as NGC 1266.

The field of active electro-optical sensing is relatively new and rapidly developing. Fundamental changes in underlying technology are ongoing, along with rapidly evolving implementation concepts.

Exercise strengthens both the body and the mind, and researchers are uncovering the molecular messengers that make the connection. The messengers can also be transferred from an active mouse to a ...

The noise from renovations on a rotunda at Fayetteville Technical Community College earlier this week prompted students and staff at the Spring Lake campus to call 911 to report an active shooter, the ...

David Mendosa called it the wall of fat. In 1994, a doctor diagnosed him with type 2 diabetes, and over the next decade, he felt helpless as his weight crept upward until he tipped the scales at 312 ...

Scientists at the University of Chicago and partner institutions have developed molecular qubits compatible with standard telecommunications networks—a key step toward a future “quantum internet.” The ...

Work described in this story was made possible in part by federal funding supported by taxpayers. At Harvard Medical School, the future of efforts like this — done in service to humanity — now hangs ...
