Imperial physicists have recreated the famous double-slit experiment, which showed light behaving as particles and a wave, in time rather than space.

In experiments to study the effect of light passing through two small openings in time, the effect produced is similar to that observed when light passes through two small openings that are not too fa

High-resolution Micro-C is applied to characterize the effect of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) loss on chromosome looping, finding that the formation of enhancer–promoter, but not promoter–promoter, loops are dependent on RNAPII binding to their anchors.

The behavior of a collection of squeezed elastic beams is determined by geometry, not by complex forces.
