Image
Optical measurements can reveal the hidden collective motion and quantum dynamics of electrons inside a Wigner crystal. In a Wigner crystal, electrons behave in an unusual way. Rather than moving independently, strongly interacting electrons confined to a two-dimensional plane can arrange themselves into a repeating lattice similar to the atoms in an ordinary crystal. Researchers [...] Explore the content: http://dlvr.it/TV3cC3

Researchers have developed a compound that attacks cancer cells in two ways by exploiting their demand for sugar while blocking their backup fuel supply. Cancer cells survive in part by consuming large amounts of sugar to power their rapid growth. Rather than trying to starve them of that fuel, researchers have developed an experimental compound [...] Explore the content: http://dlvr.it/TV2msJ
