Liquids and solutions may look simple, but on the molecular scale they are constantly shifting and reorganizing. When sugar dissolves in water, each sugar molecule quickly becomes surrounded by fast ...

Scientists have found a way to see ultrafast molecular interactions inside liquids using an extreme laser technique once ...

Liquids and solutions may seem simple, but at the molecular level they are constantly in motion. When sugar dissolves in water, for example, each ...

You are watching a long-standing assumption in physics and engineering quietly fall apart. Researchers at Northwestern ...

A new method predicts leaf optical properties from traits, improving canopy light modeling and photosynthesis estimates in ...

For the first time, scientists have observed the iconic Shapiro steps, a staircase-like quantum effect, in ultracold atoms.

Light that twists as it travels and materials whose internal order is knotted like a pretzel are starting to collide in the ...

Ultraviolet light has always sat at the edge of human perception, powerful yet invisible, more associated with sterilizing ...

Nonlinear dendritic integration in single presubicular neurons provides a mechanism for combining vestibular-based head-direction signals and visual landmark signals to anchor the brain’s internal ...

This important study combines optogenetic manipulations and wide-field imaging to show that the retrosplenial cortex controls behavioral responses to whisker deflection in a context-dependent manner.

Controlling light is an important technological challenge—not just at the large scale of optics in microscopes and telescopes ...
