Findings from preclinical studies could point to therapeutic strategies for Huntington’s disease, as well as other neurodegenerative disorders and potentially cancer.

IBM’s Scanning Tunneling Microscope, or STM for short, uses an atomically sharp needle that passes over the surface of an (electrically conductive) object – the distance between the tip and object ...

Researchers have gained impportant new insights into Huntington's disease-a rare genetic, neurodegenerative disorder... | ...

In the weird world of quantum physics, it's not unusual for particles to tunnel through barriers that under normal circumstances they shouldn't be able to pass through. While this process, called ...

If you throw a ball at a wall, it's going to bounce back at you – that's classical physics at work. But of course, the world of quantum physics is much spookier, so if you did the same with a particle ...

New research published in Physical Review Letters last week confirms that water trapped in crystals of the mineral beryl exist in what the authors are calling a new state for the molecule. Beryl—the ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. Tunneling is, at its heart, a wave phenomenon. Because quantum ...

Scanning tunneling microscopes capture images of materials with atomic precision and can be used to manipulate individual molecules or atoms. Researchers have been using the instruments for many years ...
