Graphene nanoribbons are predicted to transport electricity and dissipate heat more efficiently than traditional electronic materials such as

Understanding the synthesis, growth, and physical properties of nanoparticles is important for the development of next-generation materials. This

Biology uses stress, defects, molecular configuration (for example, handedness), and hierarchical design strategies to assemble and/or create a

Direct measurement of multiple physical properties of Geobacter sulfurreducens pili have demonstrated that they possess metallic-like

For decades, nuclear theorists have predicted that the neutron-rich barium isotopes near mass number 144 are centered in one of only two or three

Scientists aspire to build nanostructures that mimic the complexity and function of nature’s proteins, but are made of durable and synthetic

At Cornell University, we developed and tested a new detector for electron microscopes that enables quantitative measurements of electric and

RHIC physicists collide two beams of protons with their spins aligned in the same direction, and then “antialigned.” The PHENIX

A collaboration of researchers from MIT, University of California at San Diego, and General Atomics have performed the first set of realistic

In large tokamaks with tungsten walls, the edge plasma must be cooled to low temperatures before it contacts the wall. This reduces sputtering of
