With further improvements, the technique could ultimately determine the structures of isolated biomolecules and disordered materials.

Can a mathematical idealization of network behavior be adapted to real systems?

Similar patterns of spin fluctuations and charge ordering in different compounds suggests that these features are intrinsic to the cuprates.

Saying the Environmental Protection Agency “unabashedly” ignored a National Academy of Sciences report on future radiation levels at the facility, a US appeals court sends the radioactive waste problem back to Congress.

With a small grant and a good idea, a group of Virginia physics teachers is working in a remote area of Zambia to prevent physics education from becoming a victim of the AIDS pandemic.

Biological systems have evolved branching networks that transport a variety of resources. We argue that common properties of those networks allow for a quantitative theory of the structure, organization, and dynamics of living systems.

CERN was created in part to help restore a great European scientific tradition. But the establishment of a European laboratory also advanced US scientific and foreign policy aims.

An accelerator capable of colliding electrons with positrons at energies approaching a trillion electron volts tops the particle physicists’ wish list. It would have to be 30 kilometers long.
