THE author of this pamphlet proposes, with the help of a bi-polar electron, to explain the evolution of atoms and to abolish positive electricity. He has been stimulated by the discovery of isotopes ...

At a large, new facility on Michigan State University's campus, the boundaries of nuclear science are being taken further than they've ever gone before. And scientists from around the world are lining ...

Until now, atoms have never been imaged interacting freely in space, but a new technique known as non-resolved microscopy has changed that. MIT physicists were able to successfully capture images of ...

Some researchers are seeking out the ancient history of these patterns in a substance that may be unexpected to some: plant wax. The study, coauthored by Daniel Ibarra, an assistant professor of Earth ...

Scientists have created new extraheavy versions of three silvery metals in an advance that could lead to better understanding of how some elements are forged in stars. The new heavyweights are ...

In the strange world of quantum physics, even the tiniest tweak can unlock outsized rewards.

The rare form of the element found on the Pacific seabed points to its violent birth in colliding stars. By William J. Broad Scientists studying a sample of oceanic crust retrieved from the Pacific ...
