Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in home electronics and are now being used to power electric vehicles and store energy for the power grid. But…
Scientists have used lab experiments to retrace the chemical steps leading to the creation of complex hydrocarbons in space, showing pathways to forming 2-D carbon-based…
Researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed a new technique that lets them pinpoint the location of…
In 1929 Edwin Hubble surprised many people – including Albert Einstein – when he showed that the universe is expanding. Another bombshell came in 1998…
Scientists have discovered a novel chemical state of the element manganese. This chemical state, first proposed about 90 years ago, enables a high-performance, low-cost sodium-ion…
Computers can beat chess champions, simulate star explosions, and forecast global climate. We are even teaching them to be infallible problem-solvers and fast learners. And…
Lithium-sulfur batteries are promising candidates for replacing common lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles since they are cheaper, weigh less, and can store nearly double the…
When scientists recorded a rippling in space-time, followed within two seconds by an associated burst of light observed by dozens of telescopes around the globe,…
New analysis of data from the BaBar experiment rules out theorized particle’s explanation for muon mystery. In its final years of operation, a particle collider…
New research details how an electrocatalyst made up of copper nanoparticles provides the conditions necessary to break down carbon dioxide to form ethylene, ethanol, and…
In a new study, Berkeley Lab scientists harnessed the power of photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide into fuels and alcohols at efficiencies far greater than…
A new study details the results from the largest-ever, three-dimensional map of distant galaxies. The map is one of the most precise measurements yet of…
A new set of calibration techniques employed by LUX scientists has dramatically improved the sensitivity of the LUX Dark Matter Experiment. The Large Underground Xenon…
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument has archived it second major milestone, approval of Critical Decision 2 (CD–2) authorizing the project’s scientific scope, schedule, and funding…
A team of physicists from UCLA have determined the three-dimensional positions of individual atoms for the first time, helping scientists better understand the structural properties…
