NSF investments have made America and American science great. At least 268 Nobel laureates received NSF grants during their careers. The foundation has partnered with agencies acr ...

Many scientists contributed to the final result, but he was the one who, as a young physicist, designed the world’s most ...

Atoms are the tiny building blocks of all matter, but under the right conditions, they can become giants. Scientists have found a way to use these supersized atoms, called Rydberg atoms, to create a ...

Meet “Zangenite,” a hollow crystal structure named in honor of the NYU graduate student who discovered it. Crystals, whether found in sugar, table salt, snowflakes, or diamonds, do not always grow in ...

In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA and then read ...

MIT physicists have taken the first-ever direct images of individual atoms interacting freely in space. Their findings, published in the journal Physical Review Letters, reveal hidden quantum ...

S cientists now have a new approach to study never-before-seen quantum phenomena. Physicists from the Massachusetts Institute ...

The Standard Model is a gauge theory that describes the strong, weak, and electromagnetic forces, and it has specific ...

In these semiconductors, that polarity can flip under an electric field—and stay that way even after the field is gone.

Scientists have expanded on a longstanding model governing the mechanics behind slip banding, a process that produces strain marks in metals under compression, gaining a new understanding of the ...
