The atoms of amorphous solids like glass have no ordered structure; they arrange themselves randomly, like scattered grains ...

Nvidia and other designers prepare the blueprints. “Foundries” like TSMC of Taiwan turn these into physical products by ...

How fast is quantum entanglement? Scientists believe they have an answer that's measured in attoseconds -- billionths of a ...

In Caltech’s new fingerprint technique, a single molecule adsorbs onto the phononic crystal resonator device. Then scientists measure the frequency shifts of four different vibrational modes of the ...

A new technique called 'femtosecond-fieldoscopy' developed by the Max Planck Institute enables the precise detection of ...

or 60 billionths of a second. That might not sound like much, but when we’re talking about the Earth’s rotation, every billionth of a second can have a massive effect on our planet and the ...

These domains are nanometers in size -- billionths of a meter -- and can rearrange themselves in response to light pulses. This adaptive behavior could be used in the energy-efficient movement of ...

In an advance that could revolutionize biomarker detection, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light have developed a novel technique called femtosecond fieldoscopy.

A new material enables the manipulation of quantum properties on a large scale. Researchers at MIT have created this material from layers of atoms, measuring just a few billionths of a meter. Thanks ...

These domains are nanometers in size—billionths of a meter—and can rearrange themselves in response to light pulses. This adaptive behavior could be used in the energy-efficient movement of ...

Scintillators are detectors that make high-energy X-rays or particles visible through flashes of light to form an image. Their many applications include particle physics, medical imaging, X-ray ...
