According to a new paper, ancient Maya reservoirs, which used aquatic plants to filter and clean the water, “can serve as archetypes for natural, sustainable…
The world’s coastlines harbor a largely untapped energy source: the salinity difference between seawater and freshwater. A new nanodevice can harness this difference to generate…
A new study led by chemists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign brings fresh insight into the development of semiconductor materials that can do things…
Our planet is home to numerous species whose sensory abilities surpass those of humans. Turtles possess the capacity to detect the magnetic field of the…
Controversial research often sparks defensive reactions, sometimes even leading to calls for censorship, especially if the findings clash with established ideologies. However, a pair of…
New findings shed light on the link between the TP53 protein-coding gene and neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions such as autism spectrum disorder. Researchers have established…
With the world’s population on the rise and climate change intensifying, there’s an increasing need for sustainable protein alternatives. While plant-based “meat” and “dairy” have…
67 years after its theoretical prediction by David Pines, the elusive “demon” particle, a massless and neutral entity in solids, has been detected in strontium…
Startups are frequently advised to bring on board top-tier scientists and engineers to bolster their chances of successfully pioneering advanced technologies. Yet, one wonders, why…
Scientists have made a significant contribution to understanding superconductivity by observing unusual charge waves within uranium ditelluride crystals. ‘A place for everything and everything in…
Researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have recently developed innovative “smart” coatings for orthopedic surgical implants. These coatings have the ability to monitor stress…
The James Webb Space Telescope has facilitated the discovery of complex organic molecules in a distant galaxy, marking the furthest known occurrence of these molecules…
A new study challenges longstanding beliefs about Earth’s stable cratons, revealing that they have undergone repetitive deformation beneath their crust since formation. Contrary to previous…
Researchers have developed coherence maps, a technique to visualize quantum mechanics and understand the mechanisms underpinning photosynthesis. The maps elucidate the complex energy transfer process…
In the early 1800s, an English schoolmistress, Margaret Bryan, wrote several well-regarded textbooks on astronomy and physics for young women. Despite her correspondence with some…
The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign’s nuclear physics group is participating in the nEDM experiment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, aiming to measure the neutron’s electric…
A team at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has demonstrated a new form of two-dimensional chiral flow, called rank-2 chirality, using a topological circuit network….
