When viruses travel through the air in tiny droplets, they can quickly start to dry out. Yet many viruses remain infectious after rehydration—something that is still not fully understood. Now, an ...

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) can help scientists determine the three-dimensional structure of proteins in unprecedented detail. Jacques Dubochet, former group leader at EMBL, shared the 2017 ...

A new nanopatterned structure based on sub-wavelength physics has proved its value in a real-world setting, and it could ...

The world’s rarest mineral does not look especially imposing at first glance. It is a faceted orange gem, just 1.

Earth and the Moon both record evidence of a 'lost' period of bombardment. (NASA) Tiny crystal grains trapped inside a ...

A team of researchers from Tomsk Polytechnic University, together with their colleagues, for the first time traced the ...

Researchers demonstrate a fabrication process of yttrium aluminum garnet doped with cerium 3D micro-objects, producing ...

We look back at the excellent 771e speakers from 2000 – and find it's "still easy to fall under their spell" ...

But graphene doesn’t have a band gap—the energy gap in some solids that allows them to function as semiconductors. In ...

Halogen bonds are robust and tuneable enough to build permanently porous frameworks, new research shows. The findings contradict previous assumptions that halogen bonds could not generate the strong, ...

Materials science is the domain of understanding materials at the microscopic, often atomic, level to improve them. The most common goal is to make a material stronger than in its classical form, be ...

In this webinar, learn how advanced nanoparticle characterization improves formulation stability, product quality, and ...
