TROY, N.Y. — Thanks to a $304,084 Major Research Instrumentation award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is now home to a state-of-the-art single-crystal ...

The preceding hundred years have witnessed a major societal shift: the age of plastics has taken over from the age of metals, initiating an enormous demand on polymers as a result. Consequently, fast ...

Scientists have built a compact electron camera that can capture the inner, ultrafast dynamics of matter. The system shoots short bunches of electrons at a sample to take snapshots of its current ...
