The calcium hydride molecule doesn't interact well with the laser, but the solo calcium ion does. Using lasers, the researchers cool the calcium ion, slowing its motion. As the calcium slows its ...

(Nanowerk News) One of the main ways cells “talk” to each other to coordinate essential biological activities such as muscle contraction, hormone release, neuronal firing, digestion and immune ...

A team of scientists has provided new insights into the complex interactions between nanoplastics and naturally occurring ...

The mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction is a process that relies on calcium signaling. However, the physiological role of calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) through the ryanodine receptor ...

Researchers used atomic clock laser methods and a helper calcium atom to control a calcium monohydride molecule, expanding molecular options for quantum tasks, tests of physics, and chemistry control.
