By reimagining the kinks and folds of origami as atoms in a lattice, researchers are uncovering strange behavior hiding in simple structures.

Bohr’s atomic model was utterly revolutionary when it was presented in 1913 but, although it is still taught in schools, it became obsolete decades ago. However, its creator also developed a ...

An international research team led by Forschungszentrum Jülich has succeeded in visualizing magnetism inside solids with ...

Using molecular modeling and large-scale molecular dynamic simulation, University of Illinois researchers constructed an atomic model of an immature retrovirus.

By reimagining the kinks and folds of origami as atoms in a lattice, researchers are uncovering strange behavior hiding in simple structures.

Finding examples where the plot doesn't match the model could – in theory – indicate a weak additional force operating between neutrons and electrons. Using five isotopes of calcium in two different ...

The positions of all the atoms in a sample of a metallic glass have been measured experimentally — fulfilling a decades-old dream for glass scientists, and raising the prospect of fresh insight ...

Queuing theory is the mathematical study of the delays of waiting in line, covering all aspects, from arrival time to the number of servers.

Neurological disorders are becoming an increasingly significant societal burden, highlighting the critical need for improved ...

WE publish this week, as a special supplement, the substance of an address by Prof. N. Bohr on the development of the theory of atomic structure, and in particular of the latest form and ...

The strong force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. Learn how it fits into the Standard Model of particle physics.
