Designing surfaces that precisely control how light behaves at the nanoscale is tricky. Optical Fourier surfaces, which are ...

Nanodiamonds are tiny diamond particles only a few nanometers in size. Because they are chemically highly stable and can host ...

Scientists working deep beneath the Antarctic ice have been tracking “ghost particles” known as neutrinos, which pass straight through the Earth almost undetected. Billions of them move through the ...

A ghost particle may enable us to see inside the Earth’s core for the first time. For generations, studying our planet has been a major focus for millions of geologists and scientists. But our current ...

This code is to augment clear weather images with controllable amount of rain using our physics-based rendering. It allows evaluating/training algorithms, improving robustness to rain, ...

Quantum computers have the potential to solve problems far beyond the reach of today’s fastest supercomputers. But today’s machines are notoriously fragile. The quantum bits, or “qubits,” that store ...

Burmese pythons and other carnivorous snakes are well-known for swallowing their prey whole. But what comes out the other end doesn’t resemble what went in. There’s not a bone to be seen in their poop ...

Fire is arguably humanity’s earliest discovery. It was pivotal in advancing society — underpinning many of humanity’s most transformative inventions, from cooking and forging weapons to generating ...

3D visualization of an ELM in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamk as simulated with the MEGA code. The tokamak volue is colored according to the ELM structure. TheELM interacts with the energetic particle whose ...

A group of scientists from South Korea discovered that the use of nanoparticles can control the emotions and appetite of mice without doing any surgery. Nick Fewings from Unsplash Researchers at the ...

Using a virus-like delivery particle made from DNA, researchers from MIT and the Ragon Institute of MGH, MIT, and Harvard have created a vaccine that can induce a strong antibody response against SARS ...
