Finding secrets of small worlds

Scientists track nanoparticles to see how the tiny materials can affect our surroundings RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK Deep inside Duke Forest, 32 alternate universes sit in quiet rows. They look identical – each with a puddle, some land, a few plants. But wholly imperceptible to the naked eye, these plots have distinct and important differences. The realms, known as mesocosms, house ... Read More »
