Physicists have now demonstrated a particle accelerator so small it fits inside a single molecule, shrinking one of science’s most imposing machines to the scale of chemistry. Instead of ...

Laser-induced alignment boosts single-particle imaging by improving molecular orientation, enabling clearer 3D structure recovery of proteins and macromolecules. (Nanowerk News) Single-particle ...

New results from the world’s largest particle accelerator illuminate the structure of the pentaquark, an exotic particle consisting of five quarks bound together. Quarks, the subatomic particles that ...

Where the electrons hang out: This image depicts the radium atom’s pear-shaped nucleus of protons and neutrons in the centre, surrounded by a cloud of electrons (yellow), and an electron (yellow ball ...

Several factors influence the lower limit of effective particle size detection using the dynamic light scattering (DLS) method. These factors include the optical path design, detector type, laser ...
