Researchers from the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and CIBER-BBN, in collaboration with teams from the ...

Virtual particles may not be real, but they help physicists track how forces move, and allow for incredibly precise ...

In a new study, scientists have shown that chemical receptors that plants use to recognize nitrogen-fixing bacteria have ...

Making electrons flow like a liquid is difficult, but inside graphene researchers forced them to move so fast that they ...

NASA’s IMAP mission will explore the heliosphere and study how it shields Earth from cosmic radiation and space weather.

So how do you get an electron to float on top of helium? To find out, Ars spoke with Johannes Pollanen, the chief scientific officer of EeroQ, the company that accomplished the new work. He said that ...

Low nitrogen availability is the number one limitation to plant growth in most ecosystems. Plants in the bean family and other closely related families evolved a symbiotic relationship with bacteria ...

Think of it this way: if you roll a ball toward a wall, it will bounce back. That’s normal physics. But in the quantum world, a tiny particle might sometimes pass straight through the wall, as if the ...

High-energy particles zipping through the cosmos are harmful to life on Earth, but scientists think it could be food for ...

Israeli researchers use muon detectors, which detect elementary particles akin to heavy electrons, to reveal subterranean ...

"The idea was that protons and neutrons sit in shells, a bit like the electrons in an atom, and nuclear excitations would involve protons and neutrons jumping up and down between those shells," ...
