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 ...

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 ...

Polyprolines of different lengths, relatively stiff polypeptides, served as intramolecular “nanometer rulers” to demonstrate the highest MINFLUX resolutions in the Förster resonance energy transfer ...

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 ...

A long-running dispute about how fast our universe is expanding just became even more entrenched. New and more precise measurements of stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the ...
