NSLS Study Opens a Window into Molecular Self-Assembly
February 08, 2012
The natural phenomenon of self-assembly — how molecules or other entities gather to become ordered objects or arrays — occurs in many areas of science, from nanomaterials to biology.
Studying a New State of Matter with Synchrotron Light
February 07, 2012
With an eye on the developing and exciting fields of spintronics (electronics based on electron spin rather than charge) and quantum computing, scientists working in part at the National Synchrotron Light Source have learned important information about a new state of matter known as a topological insulator.
X-rays Reveal an Unfinished Self-Portrait by Rembrandt van Rijn
