Scientists ‘tune in’ to proton spin precession
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a non-invasive way to measure the "spin tune" of polarized protons at...
Tiny quantum sensors watch materials transform under pressure
Since their invention more than 60 years ago, diamond anvil cells have made it possible for scientists to recreate extreme phenomena—such as the crushing...
Sustainable sand pulls pollutants from stormwater
UC Berkeley engineers have developed a mineral-coated sand that can soak up toxic metals like lead and cadmium from water. Along with its ability...
Deadly ‘superbugs’ destroyed by molecular drills
Molecular drills have gained the ability to target and destroy deadly bacteria that have evolved resistance to nearly all antibiotics. In some cases, the...
