Scientists have successfully trapped atoms of krypton (Kr), a noble gas, inside a carbon nanotube to form a one-dimensional gas. Scientists used advanced transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methods ...

An international team of scientists led by groups from the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ) in Garching, Germany, and from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National ...

When scientists peer into ancient Earth's climate, technological limitations make it difficult to see back more than about 800,000 years. But a game-changing technology 40 years in the making might ...

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held August 17 to formally open the Argonne TRACER Center (Trace Radioisotope Analysis Center) at theU.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory. The ...

Scientists have used pulses of laser light measuring mere quintillionths of a second long to probe the motion of an atom's outermost electrons in real time. Their methods promises a broad new way to ...

The team taking ice cores on Taylor Glacier in Antarctica. A new dating method may allow scientists to date air bubbles in ice samples back to 1.5 million years. When scientists peer into ancient ...
