The research represents a major step forward in revealing how the three dimensional form of DNA shapes the way human biology functions. In a major step toward understanding how the physical form of ...

In a landmark effort to understand how the physical structure of our DNA influences human biology, Northwestern investigators and the 4D Nucleome Project have unveiled the most detailed maps to date ...

In 1919, physicist Theodor Kaluza hypothesized that extra dimensions might solve some outstanding problems in physics. And while we haven't found any evidence yet for anything outside our normal ...

Meta-holograms, the computer-generated holograms assisted with nano-structured metasurfaces, promise efficient recording of light at the nanoscale. Adopting the multiplexing principle further bestows ...

The relentless pursuit of higher precision in semiconductor lithography and atomic-scale manufacturing demands measurement systems capable of sub-nanometer accuracy, multi-axis capability, and robust ...

“This new COPD diagnostic schema, which includes chest imaging, respiratory symptoms and spirometry, identified additional individuals at risk of poor respiratory outcomes,” said Bhatt, a professor in ...

A fringe new theory suggests that time is the fundamental structure of the physical universe, and space is merely a byproduct. According to Gunther Kletetschka, a geologist — not a physicist, you’ll ...

As we move, engage and click our way through the world, we often change the “hat” we wear multiple times in the span of a single day. Part strategist, part musician, part fan, I might flex between ...

Black holes, the densest objects in the universe, eat up anything that comes too close, even light. Is there anything left inside these behemoths that could reveal what they devoured in the first ...

In April 1982, Prof. Dan Shechtman of the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology made the discovery that would later earn him the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry: the quasiperiodic crystal. According ...
