Researchers at NYU have developed a way to use light to precisely direct how microscopic particles assemble into crystals. The findings, published today (February 24) in the Cell Press journal Chem, ...

NYU scientists are using light to precisely control how tiny particles organize themselves into crystals. Their research, published in Chem, provides a simple and reversible method for forming ...

When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells.

In the face of rising emissions from data centres, researchers are turning to micro-explosions in glass, and using DNA to solve big data's big problem.

Applying a magnetic field to orient the acid crystals in the joints changes their reflectivity, leading to a noninvasive way ...

The 19th century poet Gerard Manley Hopkins paid homage to the kingfisher’s brilliant plumage in his poem “As Kingfishers ...

Scientists have a solid understanding of what makes up spindles — the cellular machinery that separates chromosomes — but are less certain about how the building blocks of spindles, called ...

Light can hit a lead halide perovskite crystal that is anything but pristine and still end up as useful electric current.

If Northern Hemisphere snow cover keeps reaching the same general highs and lows year after year, that reinforces climate stability. If snow cover instead changes over the long term, the change nudges ...

Scientists have developed a new approach to formulating mineral sunscreen that could prevent it from leaving a white cast on ...
