Scientists find a way to starve cancer cells of their favorite foods. A molecule named Glutor can effectively inhibit 44 different cancer cell lines without affecting non-cancerous cell lines. Cells consume nutrients from their surroundings to...
Can we measure a quantum system without altering it? Researchers found that it’s possible to determine the state of a quantum system by reading its data away from the system itself. In 1935, an Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger came up...
The new engineered graphene form can revolutionize space telescope technology. It could enable accurate imaging of large regions of nearby galaxies and star-forming clouds, in shorter times. Compared to conventional superconductors used in...
Researchers test the quantum superposition principle at a massive scale like never before. They illustrated the delocalization of the massive molecules containing 40,000 neutrons, electrons, and protons. Up to 2,000 atoms remained in two places at...
Researchers revisit the concept of a space elevator with a minor modification. Instead of anchoring the cable on Earth, anchor it on the moon and dangle it toward Earth. This would make lunar and terrestrial gravitational pull cancel each other...
Researchers develop the smallest spectrometer that is one thousand times thinner than a human hair. It could enable assessing the quality of drugs, freshness of foods, and much more, from a smartphone camera. In 1666, Isaac Newton’s...
For the first time, researchers capture videos of chemical synthesis at atomic resolution. It took almost 12 months to convince reviewers what they captured is real. The study could be extremely useful in drug development and materials science. ...
Researchers successfully synthesize the long-sought circular molecule carbon-18. It is the smallest cyclo[n]carbon considered to be thermodynamically stable. In the near future, it could be used to develop molecular-sized transistors. The...
A new model based on machine learning methods shows how batteries wear out over time. It scans thousands of particles in a battery electrode at once. The information could help manufacturers design long-lasting, reliable batteries. The market for...
Researchers propose a new methodology to develop a periodic table for molecules with different types of symmetries. This new approach is strongly supported by many quantum mechanical calculations and various existing molecules. In 1869, a Russian...
