I mainly use this package for geometry construction in LAMMPS, with some examples provided in the repository; of course, it can also be used for other software. Particles of specified geometries are ...

High energy physicists run on a treadmill that keeps speeding up. Their collider experiments smash particles at dazzling speeds and energies. Detectors identify and track the multitudes of smaller ...

Despite its simplicity, the model is foundational. It is often the first non-trivial system for which students solve the Schrödinger equation exactly, and it beautifully illustrates core quantum ideas ...

This fundamental work substantially advances our understanding of how the glycocalyx of cells provide a non-specific barrier for the interaction of viruses with cell-surface receptors. Using both in ...

The U.S. Secret Service discovered what they say was a China-linked plot. A thwarted plot to cripple the telecommunications system in New York was bigger than investigators first realized, adding to ...

Forget about turtles; for all practical purposes, it’s really particles all the way down. Consider the seemingly simple matter of their size, the very thing that makes them so alien. We’re typically ...

Burmese pythons and other carnivorous snakes are well-known for swallowing their prey whole. But what comes out the other end doesn’t resemble what went in. There’s not a bone to be seen in their poop ...

Aim: This study examines the absolute quantification of particle uptake into cells. Methods: We developed a novel method to analyze stacks of confocal fluorescence images of single cells interacting ...

Subatomic particles such as quarks can pair up when linked by ‘strings’ of force fields — and release energy when the strings are pulled to the point of breaking. Two teams of physicists have now used ...

An extremely high-energy particle that was spotted tearing through Earth has left scientists flummoxed ever since it was discovered. While many researchers believe the particle was an unusual neutrino ...

This valuable study presents a theoretical framework in which spatial periodicity in grid cell firing emerges as the optimal solution for encoding two-dimensional spatial trajectories via sequential ...

Cell and gene therapy is rapidly transforming the treatment of complex diseases, yet scaling production efficiently remains a challenge. Dr Tia Harmon from PHC Corporation of North America explores ...
