Inspired by an artist's stencils, researchers have developed atomic-level precision patterning on nanoparticle surfaces, ...

Physicists now know why quarks, the building blocks of the universe, move more slowly inside atomic nuclei, solving a 35-year-old-mystery. Quarks, the smallest particles in the universe, are far ...

(Nanowerk News) Since their invention in the 1930s, electron microscopes have helped scientists peer into the atomic structure of ordinary materials like steel, and even exotic graphene. But despite ...

A small team of physicists at the University of Amsterdam has demonstrated the ability of 3D-printed particles to propel themselves across the surface of a fluid, given the right fuel. The group has ...
