Current Science is a fortnightly journal published since 1932 by the Current Science Association, Bangalore (India) in collaboration with the Indian Academy of Sciences. The journal covers all ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

A game-changing technique for imaging molecules known as cryo-electron microscopy has produced its sharpest pictures that for first-time can see individual atoms in a protein. By achieving atomic ...

All matter is composed of atoms, which are too small to see without powerful modern instruments including electron microscopes. The same electrons that form images of atomic structures can also be ...

Scientists working on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) achieved yet another first Wednesday (July 25), revving full-blown atoms (with electrons oribiting them) up to near the speed of light. The ...

A 40-atom gold nanocluster breaks from gold's signature dense packing, forming square atomic planes with a central channel that accelerates electron relaxation about 80x.

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Perhaps you think of X-rays as the strange, lightly radioactive ...

Researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), alongside those from the Université de Sherbrooke in Quebec and Aalto University in Finland, have announced they have used artificial atoms in ...

The same electrons that form images of atomic structures can also be used to move atoms in materials. This technique of single-atom manipulation is now able to achieve nearly perfect control over the ...
