This study explores the use of polarized second-harmonic generation (pSHG) to investigate myosin conformation in the relaxed state, differentiating between the actin-available, disordered (ON) state ...

This whole class of astronomical objects has set off a search for causes, but even the most likely previous theories don’t ...

In physics terms, radiation is simply energy on the move, carried by waves like sunlight or particles like those released by ...

This hidden matter has been mapped using FRBs, intense millisecond-long pulses from galaxies located far away. With the help of 70 FRBs, which included one from 9 billion light years away, the ...

Quantum sensors have become important tools in low-energy particle physics. Michael Doser explores opportunities to exploit ...

A new analysis of BL Lacertae by NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer sheds light on the emission mechanisms of active ...

Knowable Magazine reports on attosecond science, revealing how scientists study atomic interactions at unbelievable speeds to ...

Cosmic radiation occasionally contains enormous amounts of energy, but we don’t know why or where this radiation comes from.
