Different atoms and ions possess characteristic energy levels. Like a fingerprint, they are unique for each species. Among ...

Axonemes are molecular machines that enable the movement of cilia, the hair-like structures found on the surface of some cells. Atomic models of axonemes from the flagella of green algae and from the ...

A joint research team from the Institute of Metal Research (IMR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Songshan Lake Materials Laboratory has achieved precise control and real-time observation of ...

A multi-disciplinary team of researchers linked atomic-scale features to efficient heat-to-electricity conversion, offering ...

A commonly accepted activity in hydrodesulfurization (HDS) catalysis is connected to the presence of the so-called Co-Mo-S structures that comprise small WS 2 or MoS 2 clusters with promoter atoms, Ni ...

Photo: Niels Bohr's research notes for his new atomic theory Rutherford's find came from a very strange experience. Everyone at that time imagined the atom as a "plum pudding." That is, it was roughly ...

When nucleic acids like DNA or RNA build up in a cell's cytoplasm, it sets off an alarm call for the immune system. Enzymes usually clear these nucleic acids before they cause an issue, but when these ...

Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...

Bacteriophages or “phages” is the terms used for viruses that infect bacteria. The UAB researchers, led by Terje Dokland, Ph.D., in collaboration with Asma Hatoum-Aslan, Ph.D., at the University of ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Chemical reactions power everything from industrial manufacturing to clean energy production, but their efficiency depends critically on catalysts - materials that speed up ...
