For the first time in the world, a research team has designed and fabricated single-component organic molecules that are conductive like metal under normal pressure, despite the fact that the ...

Note: This video is designed to help the teacher better understand the lesson and is NOT intended to be shown to students. It includes observations and conclusions that students are meant to make on ...

Scientists are reporting the first discovery of conduction of excitation without action potentials. This opens up new perspectives for research by breaking away from the classic concept of neuronal ...

Figure 1: Visualization of the electrostatic potential emanating from a point source. To understand these effects, we consider the charge state of dangling bonds and the electrostatic interactions of ...

The dimeric colloidal particles are separated from monomeric particles and higher oligomers on the basis of their relative mass, by centrifugation through glycerol or sucrose density gradients. Each ...

Thermal conduction is the transfer of internal energy by microscopic collisions of particles and movement of electrons within a body. The colliding particles, which include molecules, atoms and ...

Sometimes the intersection of physics, engineering, and "we want the shiny" can be a bit weird. In the drive to smaller and more efficient electronic devices, some are trying to shrink existing ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Engineers at Purdue University have created a nanotech simulation tool that shows how current flows between silicon atoms and individual molecules to help researchers design ...
