High-frequency transverse phonons in amorphous materials observed for…
Understanding the microscopic origin of different physical properties of solids is of fundamental importance for condensed-matter physics and for materials applications. Yet, there is still a lot of unknowns in amorphous materials due to their…
Tinkering with Roundworm Proteins Offers Hope for Anti-aging…
Researchers have been able to dial up and down creatures’ lifespans by altering the activity of proteins found in roundworm cells that tell them to convert sugar into energy when their cellular energy is running…
High-sensitivity atomic force microscopy opens up for photosensitive…
Researcher at Kanazawa University demonstrates atomic force microscopy imaging that gets around the challenges of exciting very small cantilevers at their high megahertz resonance frequencies. The approach accomadates wide frequency bandwiths, and is applicable for…
CERN announced first indications of a rare Higgs…
Geneva (CERN)-- At the 40th ICHEP conference, the ATLAS and CMS experiments announced new results which show that the Higgs boson decays into two muons. The muon is a heavier copy of the electron, one of the…
