Physicists are using an ultrafast laserbased technique they dubbed nanoshocks for something entirely different.
In fact, the nanoshocks have such a small spatial...
For almost three decades, oceanographers have been puzzled by the ability of microscopic algae to grow in midocean areas where there is very little nitrate, an essential algal nutrient.
In a new study, researchers show that midocean al...
The worlds oceans are host to an enormous diversity of drifting, microscopic organisms, known as plankton.
How this biodiversity has arisen has puzzled biol...
By using Xray absorption spectroscopy, researchers in Germany have observed the moving of electric charges from solute to solvent electron transfer.
They can even make assertions on the temporal seq...
