Tiny molecules called nanobodies, which can be designed to mimic antibody structures and functions, may be the key to blocking a tick-borne bacterial infection that remains out of reach of almost all antibiotics, new research suggests.
Scientists are now measuring tinier moon dust particles than ever before, a step toward more precisely explaining the Moon's apparent color and brightness. This in turn might help improve tracking of weather patterns and other phenomena by satellite cameras that use the Moon as a calibration source.
Researchers have used a nanoscale synthetic antiferromagnet to control the interaction between magnons -- research that could lead to faster and more energy-efficient computers.
Is it possible to transmit information through a material in the form of electron spins? New measurements show: not in the way that scientists had been working on for decades.
Researchers are using laser light to measure the energy of molecules as they transition into and out of nanopores. The resulting information can help scientists design optimized pores for detecting particular molecules.
