No one will ever be able to see a purely mathematical construct such as a perfect sphere. But now, scientists using supercomputer simulations and atomic resolution microscopes have imaged the ...

Researchers at Rice University have made a meaningful advance in the simulation of molecular electron transfer—a fundamental process underpinning countless physical, chemical and biological processes.

Every time electricity flows through a wire, some energy bleeds away as heat — electrons colliding with each other, with impurities, and with the vibrating atoms around them. Physics has long known ...
