A new way to grow narrow ribbons of graphene, a lightweight and strong structure made of a layer — just a single atom thick — of carbon

Structures on the scale of nanometers—much smaller than wavelengths of light—may improve transmission of plasmons, or small waves of

Because bimetallic catalysts are widely employed in batteries and fuel cells, a full understanding of their oxidation (electron loss) mechanisms is

Improving the efficiency of nanoscale energy transfer in quantum dot or quantum rod based systems requires the ability to fine tune variables

Up until now, the big story in characterizing the quark-gluon plasma is that it’s a hot fluid that expands explosively and flows easily. But

Quarks are the fundamental building blocks of matter and have family members with different masses. The up and down quarks, which make up neutrons

The timing of flowering is a key trait for biomass yield. A requirement for vernalization, the process by which prolonged cold exposure provides

There are more than 50,000 microbial genome sequences in the DOE JGI’s Integrated Microbial Genomes publicly accessible database, and many of

Picophytoplankton such as Ostreococcus are so small they are invisible to the naked eye. Despite their size, their global abundance means

The intertidal zone is the area between land and sea that is sometimes concealed by high tide or revealed by low tide. As this ecosystem is in
