They appear almost hypnotic, like a lava lamp. The waves made visible at TU Wien using a photoemission electron microscope cover the surface of rhodium foil with bizarre patterns which dance around on ...

A collaborative research project by team of undergraduate students from the University of Exeter's Natural Sciences department has been published in a prestigious academic journal. Lewis Howell, ...

Many natural processes, ranging from magnetism to chemical reactions, entail the movement and rotation of particles at very ...

West Virginia University scientists have manipulated chemical waves in experiments that may one day lead to controlling abnormal electrical waves in the heart or brain to ward off a heart attack or ...

Many cells in our bodies are on the move and somehow seem to "know" where to go. But how do they learn the location of their destination? This question is key to understanding phenomena such as the ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Infrared spectroscopy allows scientists to study molecules by analyzing their unique vibrational signatures, which act as chemical fingerprints. However, conventional infrared ...

Chemical reactions deep below ground affect water quality, but methods for 'seeing' them are time-consuming, expensive and limited in scope. A research team found that seismic waves can help to ...
