   Courtesy: Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) Every year, people all over the world try to make the biggest artificial Christmas tree. Like the Gubbio Christmas Tree, formed by...

Many of us may still be familiar with the simple physical principles of magnetism from school. However, this general knowledge about north and south poles quickly becomes very complex when...

Concept and chemical structure of periodically twisted molecular wires. Credit: Osaka University. Researchers at Osaka University synthesized twisted molecular wires just one molecule thick that can conduct electricity with less...

this artistic representation of the ADRIFT-QPI technique shows pulses of sculpted light (green, top) traveling through a cell (center), and exiting (bottom) where changes in the light waves can be...

This artist’s rendition shows magic-angle twisted trilayer graphene, composed of three honeycomb lattices. The tightly bound electrons (yellow spheres connected by blue halos) indicate the new structure’s strongly coupled superconducting...

Motor proteins generate the forces for essential mechanical processes in our body. On a scale of nanometers—a millionth of a millimeter—motor proteins, for example, power our muscles or transport material...

Artistic rendering of fast ion permeation inside single-walled carbon nanotubes. Small ions such as potassium, chloride, and sodium permeate through the inner volume of nanometer-wide carbon nanotubes at rates that...

Brookhaven chemists Enyuan Hu (left, lead author) and Zulipiya Shadike (right, first author) are shown holding a model of 1,2-dimethoxyethane, a solvent for lithium metal battery electrolytes. Credit: Brookhaven National...

The new single-photon source is based on excitation of a quantum dot (shown as a bulge on the bottom left), which then emits photons. A micro-cavity ensures that the photons...
