Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) can help scientists determine the three-dimensional structure of proteins in unprecedented detail. Jacques Dubochet, former group leader at EMBL, shared the 2017 ...
Physicists from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) have examined a fundamental property of quantum mechanics in ...
We don't always get to pinpoint the exact moment the world changes. But when the New Mexico dawn was torn open at 5:29 am on 16 July 1945, it was, without a doubt, a pivotal moment in humanity's ...
If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in ...
In the previous article, we introduced Quantum Espresso (QE) on Google Colab and explained how to generate a diamond crystal structure of Si using QE's functions and calculate its total energy. This ...
KCL Department of Biophysics: glass and acetate slides ('quarter plates', 'whole plates' and 'half plates') relating to the work of the Medical Research Council (MRC) Biophysics Research Unit (KCL ...
X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful non-destructive analytical technique used to evaluate crystalline materials and determine their structural properties. As one of the most widely used ...
Optical dispersion occurs when the refractive index of a material changes with the wavelength of incoming light. This variation causes different colors to move at different speeds in transparent media ...
Even plants have their favorite colors. Photosynthesis requires light, but plants don’t use all the colors that make up white light. Use a spectroscope to explore the absorption and transmission of ...
