Dimensions beyond the four we’re familiar with could solve a host of problems in physics and cosmology. Columnist Leah Crane ...

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure—and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of chemical characteristics. Many ...

Theoretically, it’s impossible for us to perceive a 4D creature. That is, unless it broke into our three-dimensional reality.

A wave of recent research has brought robotic touch sensitivity closer to human fingertips than ever before, driven by ...

The semiconductor chips driving modern-day computer processors are covered in billions of individual transistors, each of ...

When a videogame wants to show a scene, it sends the GPU a list of objects described using triangles (most 3D models are broken down into triangles). The GPU then runs a sequence called a rendering ...

For the first time, researchers have shown that self-assembled phosphorus chains can host genuinely one-dimensional electron behavior. Using advanced imaging and spectroscopy techniques, they ...

"With our metasurface tweezer array approach, we hope to scale neutral-atom arrays even further, perhaps even beyond 100,000 atoms." This scaling comes from a fundamentally new approach to generating ...

Electro-optical detectors are used to measure or sense the radiation emitted or reflected by objects within the detector’s optical field of view (FOV). Passive systems operate without any illumination ...

Researchers from the University of Hong Kong studying the structure of electrons in 2D materials have predicted new types of phase transitions that have yet to be seen in experiments Illustration of ...
