Chemists make cellular forces visible at the molecular scale Scientists have developed a new technique using tools made of luminescent DNA, lit up like fireflies, to visualize the mechanical forces of cells at the molecular […]
Physicists Have Reversed Time on The Smallest Scale by Using a Quantum Computer It’s easy to take time’s arrow for granted – but the gears of physics actually work just as smoothly in reverse. Maybe […]
Our Brains Are Too Puny to Fully Understand The Scale of The Universe As an astrophysicist, I am always struck by the fact that even the wildest science-fiction stories tend to be distinctly human in […]
This Video About The Scale of Black Holes Will Crush Your Poor, Tiny Brain Black holes are vast, matter-annihilating objects that seem to defy physics by their very existence. They’re so weird, that when Albert […]
Galactic winds push researchers to probe galaxies at unprecedented scale When astronomers peer into the universe, what they see often exceeds the limits of human understanding. Such is the case with low-mass galaxies—galaxies a fraction […]
Nanocar is the first step toward a controlled transport system at the molecular scale Dr. Saw-Wai Hla and Dr. Eric Masson are thrilled with their team’s performance in the world’s first nanocar race in April, […]
