PROTEUS, a system designed to harness “directed evolution,” can speed the process up by years, or even decades.

Knowable Magazine reports on attosecond science, revealing how scientists study atomic interactions at unbelievable speeds to ...

An attosecond—or 0.000000000000000001 second—is no time at all for a person. That is not so for electrons, atoms and molecules, and laser-wielding scientists are revealing the action ...

For years after his service in Afghanistan and Iraq, U.S. Army Special Forces veteran Joe Hudak fought a daily battle against ...

In November 2021, Northwestern University researchers introduced an injectable new therapy, which harnessed fast-moving “dancing molecules,” to repair tissues and reverse paralysis after severe spinal ...

Cartilage cells generate more protein components (collagen II and aggrecan) for regeneration when treated with fast-moving dancing molecules (left) compared to slower moving molecules.

To unpack why molecules never stop moving, and before we get lost in the fundamental weirdness of quantum mechanics, we must first clarify something a bit more straightforward: What is temperature?

Scientists have developed a new method to observe electrons moving inside molecules with incredible precision.
