Once considered an oddity of quantum physics, time crystals could be a good building block for accurate clocks and sensors, ...

Time crystals could one day provide a reliable foundation for ultra-precise quantum clocks, new mathematical analysis has revealed. Published in Physical Review Letters, the research was led by ...

When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells.

MXenes are an emerging class of two-dimensional materials whose properties depend sensitively on the atoms bound to their surfaces. A new synthesis approach now allows researchers to control these ...

Pink boulders led scientists to a massive granite formation buried under Antarctica’s ice, solving a decades-old geological ...

We have solved the crystal structure of the Holliday junction resolving enzyme T7 endonuclease I at 2.1 Å resolution using the multiwavelength anomalous dispersion (MAD) technique. Endonuclease I ...

Every single curling stone in the Winter Olympics is crafted from a special granite found only on Ailsa Craig, a small uninhabited island off the coast of Scotland.
