Nanometer Scale News Today

At this stage, we still know very little about the chip. The Internet is filled with press stories about the chip, but they all seem to resolve...

Cell division, or the process of how daughter cells emerge from a mother cell, is fundamental to biology. Every cell inherits the same protein and DNA building blocks that make up the cell it originally came from. Yet exactly how these molecular building blocks arrange themselves into new cells has remained a mystery. Studying cell division requires simultaneously viewing nanometer-scale macromolecules like proteins and DNA all the way up to millimeter-scale populations of cells, and over a time

Near-field infrared spectroscopy is a vital analysis method that is extensively utilized in materials science, biological sciences as well as optical studies.

One of the versatile analytical tools used for the nanoscale characterization of polymeric materials has been atomic force microscopy (AFM).

This article looks at Fu, C. et al.'s journal published in Matter and Radiation at Extremes, looking at novel opportunities for nuclear and atomic physics on the femto- to nanometer-scale using ultra-high-intensity lasers.

December 21, 2020 The Earth’s soils contain more than three times the amount of carbon than is found in the atmosphere, but the processes that bind carbon in the soil are still not well understood. Improving such understanding may help researchers develop strategies for sequestering more carbon in soil, thereby keeping it out of the atmosphere where it combines with oxygen and acts as a greenhouse gas.
