Scientists have discovered a method to transform mesoscopic molecular assemblies into dimensionally distinct out-of-equilibrium structures. (Nanowerk News) Constructing out-of-equilibrium molecular ...

On the right side, you can see the upper diagonal heading up, while the one on the bottom falls to the ground. Now substitute upper-income Americans for the topmost diagonal, heading up and away, and ...

After more than three centuries, a geometry problem that originated with a royal bet has been solved. Imagine you’re holding two equal-size dice. Is it possible to bore a tunnel through one die that’s ...

Dr. Fryer is a professor of economics at Harvard University, founder of Equal Opportunity Ventures and a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute. Call it MAG: mutually assured gerrymandering. First ...

Chiral gold nanostars show how molecular asymmetry transfers to high-symmetry nanoparticles, producing structures with distinctive optical behavior and enhanced molecular detection. (Nanowerk ...

Simulated predicted shape distribution for magic-sized silver clusters (purple insets) assembled at different solvent temperatures. These predictions can guide experiments to target seeds for crystal ...

Certain cells have an unusual shape that is similar to an oak leaf or puzzle piece, and researchers have found that the form of these cells helps them withstand dramatic changes in volume. These cells ...

Scientists have achieved the first real-time visualization of how 'excited-state aromaticity' emerges within just hundreds of femtoseconds and then triggers a molecule to change from bent to planar ...

The body-positive movement has encouraged people, especially women, to see beauty in all shapes and sizes, and it's reminded us that body ideals are culturally constructed and not based on science.
