(Phys.org)—Two independent groups of scientists in the U.S. and Germany have reduced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) down to the nanoscale, which may enable them in the future to non-destructively detect and image small ...
(Phys.org)—In science, just like in life, sometimes creating the most effective organization depends on being able to handle just a bit of chaos first.
