In a world first, scientists have filmed atoms in motion, capturing their thermal vibrations in real-time with stunning clarity. The breakthrough, led by Yichao Zhang, an assistant professor at the ...

Engineers have created a patent-pending method that creates layered perovskite nanowires with exceptionally well-defined and flexible cavities that exhibit a wide range of unusual optical properties ...

In this video, we introduce the fundamentals of kinematics in 2D, focusing on projectile motion. Learn how to break down the horizontal and vertical components of motion, apply key equations, and ...
