Artificial intelligence and advanced computing are helping scientists quickly identify and develop new battery materials, reducing reliance on lithium and other scarce resources. In a collaboration ...

Scientists at TU Wien (Vienna) report that an exotic quantum phenomenon appears under conditions where it would not normally be expected. Nature follows many rhythms: the Earth’s orbit around the sun ...

A single speck of light—captured inside a lab at Oxford—turned the abstract into the tangible. It didn’t just win a prize; it showed that we ...

Scientists have discovered that the far side of the Moon is colder deep within its interior than the side that always faces Earth. By analyzing rock and soil samples collected by China’s Chang’e 6 ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Since their discovery in 1982, exotic materials known as quasicrystals have bedeviled physicists and chemists. Their atoms arrange ...

Researchers now have a clearer picture of the chemical mechanisms underlying lithium-ion batteries—and it could lead to faster, more efficient batteries for electric vehicles, portable electronics, ...

Everything around us is built from sets of chemical elements. From the air we breathe to the jewelry we wear. All of these elements can be found on the periodic table that we’ve all had a chance to ...

This is an amazing discovery for the potential habitability of the moon’s ocean. The Cassini observations have shown that Enceladus has a deep ocean, it has hydrothermal activity, it has chemistry, ...

Low doses in mice have can clear up proteins associated with Alzheimer’s disease and restore memory. Human trials are the next step.

Iridoids are a widespread and evolutionarily ancient class of plant secondary metabolites belonging to the terpenes. They occur in thousands of plant species and play an important role in defense and ...

The MIT study has created a new model, called the Coupled Ion-Electron Transfer (CIET) model, to advance lithium-ion batteries. The new model redefines the fundamental chemical reaction known as ...

Axcelis Technologies, Inc. and Veeco Instruments Inc. are merging for $4.4B to form a stronger semiconductor firm. Click for my look at both VECO and ACLS stock.
