Physicists propose experiencing quantum effects firsthand by shrinking to atomic size; however, this is impossible due to the insurmountable density resulting from compressing a human's atoms into the ...

Scientists are now able to "see" a structure that acts as an atomic-size sorter for cells. Without it, many important life functions—nerve signal firing, heartbeat, hormone secretion—could not occur.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Chemical reactions power everything from industrial manufacturing to clean energy production, but their efficiency depends critically on catalysts - materials that speed up ...

The development of atomic-scale structures revealing novel transport phenomena is a major goal of nanotechnology. Examples include chains of atoms that form while stretching a transition metal contact ...
