Scientists have long known that the DNA code in genes is not the only way to pass genetic traits from parents to offspring. "Epigenetic" marks—chemical modifications to DNA that don't change the DNA ...

Physicists from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) have examined a fundamental property of quantum mechanics in ...

A new nanopatterned structure based on sub-wavelength physics has proved its value in a real-world setting, and it could ...

Have you ever stopped to wonder why global regulatory bodies like the FDA and CE are so strictly obsessed with Cascade Impaction (NGI/Andersen) when auditing nebulizers? Why does the latest ISO 27427 ...

If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in ...

Optical dispersion occurs when the refractive index of a material changes with the wavelength of incoming light. This variation causes different colors to move at different speeds in transparent media ...

Your genes code for all your traits. Some genes are dominant and expressed if you receive a copy from one parent. Others are recessive and only apparent if you receive a copy from both parents. Genes ...

Imagine a monochromatic world in which everyone is the same color: White. In a sense, that’s what pop culture, the history we’re taught in school and even religion often ask us to do by way of ...

Ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) experiments can extract insights into material behavior at ultrafast timescales but are limited by the manual analysis required to process several gigabytes of ...
