Photo-induced force microscopy began as a concept in the mind of Kumar Wickramasinghe when he was employed by IBM in the ...

The photoelectric effect, first explained in 1905, transformed our understanding of how light interacts with matter. When ...

The membrane-bound organelle appears to play a huge role in helping cells sort, discard, and recycle their contents. It's ...

This channel electron multiplier amplifies the faint signals generated in some types of mass spectrometry and other precision analytical techniques. Electrons are focused into the curved device, where ...

I took a deep dive into the photoelectric effect — where light hits a surface and kicks electrons out. It’s simple, ...

PhoSim simulates the atmosphere, including air turbulence, as well as distortions from the shape of the telescope’s mirrors and the electrical properties of the sensors. The photons are propagated ...

The Large Hadron Collider is one of the biggest experiments in history, but it’s also one of the hardest to interpret. Unlike ...

Our 0–60 mph test number of 3.4 seconds in the Chevy EV SS is spot on with Chevy’s estimate for it, with the quarter mile ...

A new method in electron microscopy enables sub-20-picometer targeting of individual atoms without prior exposure, opening ...

A picture snapped from the International Space Station (ISS) by NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers has captured a lesser-seen view ...
