But look closer and you'll see something just as extraordinary—microscopic crystals that form as that delicious drink dries out. As Stephanie Pappas reports for LiveScience, Italian geologist ...
Microscopic crystals could soon be zipping drugs around your body, taking them to diseased organs. In the past, this was thought to be impossible - the crystals, which have special magnetic ...
While the idea that multiple volcanic events took place in the early Jurassic isn't new, this study stands out for assigning dates to these pulses of volcanic activity, by dating microscopic crystals ...
A new University of Maryland study has revealed a coordinated dance of microscopic particles—breaking ... driving the ...
