What have scientists learned in five years of studying cosmic rays with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer experiment?

A technique for probing the surface of particles revealed how toxins move from the soil to groundwater.

Squeezing a platinum catalyst a fraction of a nanometer nearly doubles its catalytic activity, a finding that could lead to better fuel cells and other clean energy technologies.

New X-ray methods have captured the highest resolution room-temperature images of photosystem II.

Four physicists discuss Higgs boson research since the discovery.

Scientists used SLAC's LCLS X-ray laser to make the first snapshots of a chemical interaction between two biomolecules. It changes the shape of millions of molecular switches almost instantaneously, like synchronized swimmers performing the same move.
