MRI machines have transformed medicine, enabling detailed, non-invasive imaging of the human body using the quantum behavior of hydrogen atoms. Unlike X-rays or ultrasounds, MRIs rely on ...

Why did they form at that time? Astronomers know from observing distant exploding stars that the size of the universe has ...

The hydrogen atoms in water have different values of T1 depending on the tissue in which they’re present. An MRI machine exploits this fact to show different tissues in different shades of grey.

Researchers at Umeå University have identified the inner workings of a highly efficient and stable catalyst for hydrogen ...
