Silicon microchips have nearly reach the minuscule size where quantum tunneling will be come a problem. There are a number of option for dealing with this challenge. Julian provides a quick inventory of some of the approaches that are in the works.

Berkelium is a synthetic, radioactive lanthanide element with a half life measured in days. So it's expensive, there's not much around at any one time and it doesn't last long making it tough to study. But scientists have found that it's inner electrons don't quite follow the rules of quantum mechanics probably because they move so fast that relativistic effect come into play.

The Higgs Boson may be the ultimate discovery in the search for fundamental particles. But there is still much to find in the way of composite particles such as the recently discovered pentaquark.

Scientists working at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory explain what is involved in creating new 'superheavy' elements. And they are beginning to wonder if they placed these elements in the right place on the Periodic Table now that special relativity is becoming a factor in their behavior.

When a virus enters you're body the immune system goes into action. If it recognizes the particular virus it jumps into action otherwise it has to learn how to kill the virus first. A vaccine helps the immune system learn to kill a virus. Here's how.

China is approaching (2021) completion of a prototype nuclear reactor using the new technology of molten salt as the coolant. The reactor will also use thorium rather than uranium since uranium is rather scarce in China but thorium is an abundant waste product of China's rare earth industry.

Somniloquy, sleep talking, occurs when neurotransmitters fail to inhibit motor functions that prevent most muscular contractions during REM sleep. Sleep experts are experimenting with, and have had some success, communicating with sleepers in this state.

A particle dubbed 'X' until it receives its official name, contains four quarks in contrast to the three quarks found in our everyday protons and neutrons. But it's not well understood because the proton-proton collisions in your typical particle accelerator only produce a few of these particles. So particle physicists smashed together lead nuclei that are 200 times heavier than protons.
