A decades-old puzzle about water has finally been unraveled. Researchers found that water trapped in tiny nanoscale spaces is not inherently more reactive. Instead, the intense pressures created inside these microscopic gaps explain most of the effect, while the surrounding mater

Everything around us, from atoms and molecules to planets and galaxies, is governed by two extraordinarily successful theories of physics: quantum mechanics and gravity. Quantum mechanics explains the behavior of the microscopic world, while Einstein's theory of gravity describes

Researchers from the Molecular Physics and Physical Chemistry departments of the Fritz Haber Institute have shown how two highly synchronized infrared (IR) laser beams can control molecules as they switch between different structural conformations. Their study provides a new wind

Phase transformations—in which a material changes from one crystal structure to another, thereby acquiring dramatically different properties—are ubiquitous in nature. Understanding the microscopic mechanisms of these transformations is essential for controlling material propertie

Controlling light within microscopic spaces is crucial for next-generation optical devices such as photonic integrated circuits and localized sensors. Microspheres formed of luminescent π-conjugated polymers act as optical resonators that confine and amplify light via whispering

High-speed movies of microscopic worms may sound like a dull night at the cinema, but this advanced imaging capability could help scientists better understand how diseases begin and progress, track subtle changes in cells and study how the body responds to treatments.

Water’s odd behavior becomes even more dramatic when it is supercooled, but scientists have struggled to compare the many different ways of describing its microscopic structure. Researchers at the University of Osaka used an AI model trained on computer simulations to evaluate 16

Underpinning much of modern technology, from smartphones to scanning tunneling microscopes to particle colliders, is Fermi's Golden Rule. Named for 20th-century Italian American physicist Enrico Fermi (but actually discovered by British physicist Paul Dirac), the rule is a formul

About 1 in 3 people worldwide have been infected with a microscopic parasite called Toxoplasma gondii—or simply "toxo"—which can cause toxoplasmosis. After the initial infection, toxo settles into our muscles and brains, where it can remain for life.

Pesquisadores da Universidade Metropolitana de Osaka, no Japão, desenvolveram um dispositivo térmico inovador capaz de controlar a direção para onde o calor é irradiado e "lembrar" sua configuração de funcionamento mesmo após ser totalmente desligado da energia. A descoberta tem potencial de revolucionar a dissipação de calor em chips, principalmente os mais exigentes, como aqueles para data centers. Publicado na rev

Infecção por Cyclospora, que causa diarreia intensa e prolongada, está se espalhando nos Estados Unidos — e os números reais podem ser muito maiores do que as autoridades registram.

Estudo aponta avanço no controle dos dendritos, principal obstáculo para transformar baterias de sódio metálico em alternativa comercial O post Bateria de sódio metálico pode mudar o mercado ao recarregar em apenas quatro minutos apareceu primeiro em Olhar Digital.
