Have a look round your living room. Everything around you is made up of molecules - just as you are. When they are put together, the molecules act as the building blocks of life. Every single building ...

Have you ever wondered how astronomers measure the distance to other objects in the universe? How do they make claims that this nebula is 1,500 light years distance or that galaxy is 2.5 million light ...

(Nanowerk News) Fluorescence microscopy is a widely used technique in the life sciences that enables scientists to see specific parts of cells and tissues by labeling them with glowing molecules, ...

A new set of precision distance measurements made with an international collection of radio telescopes have greatly increased the likelihood that theorists need to revise the “standard model” that ...

Recreation of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations. After a complex statistical analysis of some one million galaxies, a team of researchers at several Chinese universities, and the University of Cordoba was ...

The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science has successfully developed a length measurement system that achieves a level of precision approaching the theoretical limit allowed by quantum ...

Scientists have demonstrated the fastest distance measurement so far. The researchers demonstrated on-the-fly sampling of a gun bullet profile with micrometer accuracy. The experiment relied on a ...

Do scientists need to re-examine the basic model of the universe? Using new measurements of cosmic distances, astronomers have refined their calculation of the Hubble Constant, a number that describes ...
