PNEUMONOCONIOSIS associated with heavy-metal inhalation has long resisted most forms of therapy. The development of chelating agents offers a new approach to this problem. This report concerns our ...

Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have linked together, or "entangled," the mechanical motion and electronic properties of a tiny blue crystal, giving it a ...

LPPF is preparing actively for both the experiments with beryllium electrodes expected in the spring and for the shift to hydrogen-boron fuel expected before year-end. The research team is planning ...

Physicists are taking their quantum powers to the next level — the next energy level, that is. Researchers have controlled the motion of a trapped ion, an electrically charged atom, better than ever ...

Scientists from the PTB and the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics (MPIK), both Germany, have carried out pioneering optical measurements of highly charged ions with unprecedented precision. To ...
