In this work, by using advanced transmission electron microscope techniques, we directly observe two alternative particle attachment growth pathways that dominate the growth of Au@Ag core–shell ...

The cranial nerves are a set of twelve pairs of nerves that travel to and from the brain. Each has a different function. For example, the olfactory nerve is essential for detecting smells. The ...

The instruments used at CERN are purpose-built particle accelerators and detectors. Accelerators boost beams of particles to high energies before the beams are made to collide with each other or with ...

Samples for lipoprotein particle analysis by proton NMR spectroscopy were thawed, separated into 200-μL aliquots, refrozen, and shipped on dry ice to LipoScience Inc (Raleigh, NC). Particle ...

Not only could this neutrino, also known as a "ghost particle," have been fleeing a gamma-ray burst or a supermassive black hole, but it could also have been produced by an ultra-powerful cosmic ...

A single particle has been used to perform the first full quantum simulations of how certain molecules react to light. The researchers who carried out the feat say that their minimalistic approach ...

One of the things that makes the main particle accelerator at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility unique is that it was the first linear accelerator to ...

Scientists with CERN, a particle physics laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland, said they confirmed the change of lead into gold using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The LHC is the world’s largest and ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. It consists of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures to ...

and the countless other intellectuals who pursued this alchemical dream needed was a 17-mile-long particle accelerator capable of flinging atoms at each other 99.999993 percent the speed of light.
