Using computer models of the warming process, the researchers simulated the effects of PETM ocean warming on sediments that may have contained methane hydrate

By tracking the chemicals in "old book smell" and other musuem odors, conservators can react quickly to preserve priceless art and artifacts at the first signs of degradation

Researchers aim to make such cloaks more practical

Medications can be compromised in many different ways. For example, they may be bulked up with fillers, or they can degrade because they are stored improperly

Microwaves created at near absolute zero temperature provide uniquely correlated and controllable states

The technique enables users to measure molecular weights of gaseous samples in the air in real time

Instrument is one step forward in a new field of physics called valleytronics

"This work is an excellent example of the materials advances possible when we close the feedback loop between first principles calculations and atomic resolution electron microscopy," says researcher

Method gives scientists new ways to study rapid nuclear motions in nature's light-dependent processes

Recently developed superresolution (SR) microscopy breaks the diffraction limit and offers the requisite spatial resolution but usually at the cost of slow imaging speed and excessive damage

The spherical design produces high-pressure plasmas—essential ingredients for fusion reactions—with relatively low and cost-effective magnetic fields

With a similar technology found in today's smartphone cameras—biologists are getting new images of our cells and rapidly uncovering never-seen-before details
