The work could allow scientists to accelerate the discovery of materials showing a metal-insulator transition. An interdisciplinary team of scientists from Northwestern Engineering and the…
The demand for clean energy has never been higher, and it has created a global race to develop new technologies as alternatives to fossil fuels….
X-ray imaging is a fast and painless way for doctors to see inside a person. But radiation detectors, which go under the body part being…
While all viruses have some means of combating the body’s immune system, scientists have been studying how the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus—the cause of the COVID-19 global…
Every year, 3.5 million metric tons of sodden diapers end up in landfills. The superabsorbent material inside these diapers is made up of a matrix…
The landing of NASA’s Perseverance rover was another leap forward not only for space exploration but also for the technology that’s powering the craft on…
Pure water is not a good conductor of electricity. It is, in fact, an electrical insulator. In order to conduct electricity, water must contain dissolved…
An international group of researchers has developed a new technique that could be used to make more efficient low-cost light-emitting materials that are flexible and…
In a year that has already battered manufacturing supply chains, yet another shortage is complicating manufacturers’ and consumers’ lives: plastics, and the food packaging, automotive…
Floating into summer with more buoyant, liquid-proof life jackets, swimsuits. Summertime is here, and that often means long, lazy days at the beach, water skiing…
For decades, researchers around the world have searched for ways to use solar power to generate the key reaction for producing hydrogen as a clean…
Researchers at the University of Regensburg track the first step of the reaction of one single dye pigment with oxygen at unprecedented resolution. Why is…
The University of Surrey has built an artificial intelligence (AI) model that identifies chemical compounds that promote healthy aging — paving the way towards pharmaceutical…
Recently, a research group led by Prof. YUAN Kaijun and Prof. YANG Xueming from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy…
A collaborative research team, led by the University of Liverpool, has discovered a new inorganic material with the lowest thermal conductivity ever reported. This discovery…
Researchers at Stanford and the University of Naples studying how bubbles form and eventually burst use high-speed cameras and analytical modeling to reveal a new…
Chemical elements make up pretty much everything in the physical world. As of 2016, we know of 118 elements, all of which can be found…
Scientists using the Advanced Photon Source show how ‘zinc sparks’ — the showers of zinc ions released by mammalian eggs immediately after fertilization — also…
