A team of researchers in Switzerland, Germany and the US has observed clear evidence of quantum mechanical interference behaviour in collisions between a methane molecule and a gold surface. As well ...

Water molecules on the surface of an electrode flip just before they give up electrons to form oxygen – a feat of nanoscale gymnastics that explains why the reaction takes more energy than it ...

Newly-observed depinning phenomenon could aid the development of more efficient energy harvesters and help keep next-generation fuel handling systems safe ...

Portable multiphoton microscopy system uses femtosecond laser pulses to create pathology-quality diagnostic images ...

“Metasurfaces are engineered materials that manipulate wave behaviour in ways that natural materials cannot,” said Zhong. “In ...

Superfluidity is a quantum mechanical effect that occurs at temperatures near absolute zero. As the temperatures of certain fluids approach this value, they undergo a transition to a zero-viscosity ...

A greenhouse with a perovskite solar cell rooftop led to faster growth and larger leaves in radicchio seedlings ...

A further attraction of zwitterionic coatings for medical implants is that zwitterions are naturally present in our bodies.

Muhammed Hamza Waseem explains how he’s using education and outreach to make his research on quantum computing more ...
