Hints of a new fundamental interaction are starting to look less like statistical ghosts and more like a pattern that refuses ...

A new technique allows complex interactions in materials to be simulated using Monte Carlo simulations thousands of times ...

Researchers have discovered that molecules experience non-reciprocal interactions without external forces. Fundamental forces such as gravity and electromagnetism are reciprocal, where two objects are ...

In the race to uncover the deepest secrets of the universe, researchers are turning to powerful new tools. One of the most promising tools is the quantum computer. It offers a way to explore problems ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has established itself as a decisive tool for probing nanoscale interactions, particularly adhesion forces and capillary phenomena. A precise understanding of these ...

Researchers from TUM, working at CERN, have made a groundbreaking discovery that reveals how deuterons are formed. Another long-standing question in particle physics has been answered. Scientists ...

Vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VaCNT) membranes can be used to clean or desalinate water with a high flow rate and low pressure. Recently, researchers from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology ...

Scientists reveal how hydrophobic surfaces trap nanoplastics in porous media, highlighting overlooked forces that shape their mobility and impact on subsurface ...

The positively charged protons in atomic nuclei should actually repel each other, and yet even heavy nuclei with many protons and neutrons stick together. The so-called strong interaction is ...

While many of the stages of the cell-mediated immune response are known, the mechanisms by which various white blood cells can specifically bind (and release) to initiation proteins are not as well ...
