Researchers hope that ionocaloric cooling could someday help replace refrigerants with high global warming potential and provide safe, efficient cooling and heating for homes. Adding…
It is expected that global warming will exceed the threshold established in the 2015 Paris Agreement, though it is uncertain to what extent this will…
A new characterization tool was developed by a team of scientists, allowing them to gain unique insight into a possible alternative material for solar cells….
Researchers have finally succeeded in building a long-sought nanoparticle structure, opening the door to new materials with special properties. Alex Travesset does not have a…
Pulse radiolysis experiments demonstrate how unpaired electrons at one end of a molecule can initiate chemistry at ‘distant’ locations. Researchers at the Brookhaven National Laboratory…
A new study reveals the profound properties of a simple metal alloy. Scientists have measured the highest toughness ever recorded, of any material, while investigating…
Modeling calls into question supernova origin, forcing a reconsideration of the prevailing view of gamma-ray-burst events. The standard view of gamma-ray bursts as a signature…
Dark matter makes up about 27% of the matter and energy budget in the universe, but scientists do not know much about it. They do…
Researchers discover that ions behave differently in fusion reactions. Ions behave differently in fusion reactions than previously expected, according to new findings by scientists at…
Stability in Asymmetry By breaking the symmetry of their environment, scientists demonstrate a new technique for extending the length of time qubits can retain information….
A multi-institutional team has created an efficient method for measuring high-dimensional qudits encoded in quantum frequency combs, a kind of photon source, on a single…
The protein could be important in both soil decomposition and soil carbon cycling. There are billions of bacteria, fungi, and viruses in every handful of…
The Dark Energy Camera has taken countless photos. Here are 15 of the most spectacular. The Dark Energy Camera has taken more than a million…
High-tech quantum sensors could guide vehicles without satellites, if they can handle the ride. When talking about quantum inertial sensors, words like “tough” or “rugged”…
Precision measurement of how a proton’s structure deforms in an electric field has revealed new details about an unexplained spike in proton data. Nuclear physicists…
A newly discovered type of transferable DNA structure with a sci-fi name appears to play a role in balancing atmospheric methane. In Star Trek, the…
The neural networks are harder to fool thanks to adversarial training. Los Alamos National Laboratory researchers have developed a novel method for comparing neural networks…
The proton is a nuclear particle with a positive electric charge located in the nucleus of an atom. It is a composite particle made up…
