Researchers have discovered eight new rare isotopes of the elements phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, argon, potassium, scandium and, most importantly, calcium. These are the heaviest isotopes of these ...

July 12 (UPI) --Scientists have discovered eight new isotopes -- all of them the heaviest-known forms of their respective elements. Through experimentation at RIKEN's Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory ...

Physicists led by Johannes Roßnagel at the University of Mainz in Germany, the single atom engine is about as efficient as your car at transforming the changing temperature into mechanical energy.

Researchers from Michigan State University and the RIKEN Nishina Center in Japan discovered eight new rare isotopes of the elements phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, argon, potassium, scandium and, most ...

Physicists have developed an engine that you can’t see with the naked eye. In a paper published today in the journal Science, the research team from the University of Mainz and University of Kassel in ...

Researchers have discovered that a single atom -- a calcium, in fact -- can control how bacteria walk. The finding identifies a key step in the process by which bacteria infect their hosts, and could ...

A team of German physicists has just created the world's smallest working engine. Powered by a single electrically-charged calcium atom, the new device is claimed to have the equivalent thermodynamic ...
