Prof. Dan Shechtman of the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology made the discovery that would later earn him the 2011 ...

The short answer is; no. We will never see atoms using visible light, simply because the wavelength of visible light (around 400 to 700 nanometers) is larger than the size of an atom (around 0.1 to ...

When speaking of motors, most people think of those powering vehicles and human machinery. However, biological motors have ...

The tissues of the MH7 fossil were so precisely preserved that researchers could study individual skin cells. In some samples ...

Scientists have found a way to achieve negative refraction—where light bends the "wrong" way—using carefully arranged atomic arrays instead of engineered metamaterials. This breakthrough has enormous ...

For the first time, researchers have been able to measure the quantum state of electrons ejected from atoms that have absorbed high-energy light pulses. This is thanks to a new measurement technique ...

Elad Harel is used to shining a light on the mysteries of the natural world. Working at the cutting-edge of ultrafast ...
