Greater use of electric vehicles might be good for the environment, but further growth hinges on the continued availability of critical battery components such as…
A new study suggests a path to correcting the “jitters” in quantum devices, which may help make quantum computers and sensors more practical. Labs around…
Preeminent telescope to play critical role in better understanding sun, space weather. Just released first images from the National Science Foundation’s Daniel K. Inouye Solar…
Mathematicians, physicists, and materials experts might not spring to mind as the first people to consult about whether you are brewing your coffee right. But…
Roughly half of the newly-discovered black holes are not at the centers of their galaxies. Astronomers seeking to learn about the mechanisms that formed massive…
Look at this new radio image covered with dots, each of which is a distant galaxy! The brightest spots are galaxies that are powered by…
New technique for observing reaction products offers insights into the chemical mechanisms that formed them. During a chemical reaction, the molecules involved in the reaction…
Physicists find a way to eliminate unwanted damping. Smaller, faster, more energy-efficient – this is the goal that developers of electronic devices have been working…
New research has found a fundamental flaw in the way devices ‘talk’ to apps that leaves Bluetooth-enabled devices vulnerable to hacking. Mobile apps that work…
Researchers generate terahertz laser with laughing gas: Device may enable “T-ray vision” and better wireless communication. Within the electromagnetic middle ground between microwaves and visible…
Materials could be useful for delivering drugs or imaging agents in the body; may offer alternative to some industrial plastics. MIT chemists have devised a…
Extremely large electric fields can prevent umbrella-shaped ammonia molecules from inverting. A molecule of ammonia, NH3, typically exists as an umbrella shape, with three hydrogen…
What makes an image memorable? Ask a computer. From the “Mona Lisa” to the “Girl with a Pearl Earring,” some images linger in the mind…
Study finds even the tallest ice cliffs should support their own weight rather than collapsing catastrophically. Antarctica’s ice sheet spans close to twice the area…
Chemists find a new way of creating the building blocks of many drugs. Organic chemists at Ohio State University have figured out how to synthesize…
An algorithm speeds up the planning process robots use to adjust their grip on objects, for picking and sorting, or tool use. If you’re at…
An international team seeks to integrate diverse voices, experiences, and expertise into the scientific practices of ancient DNA research and foster better collaboration with Indigenous…
