Research suggests some metals’ semicore electrons may be more active on Earth’s surface than previously thought.

Atomic imaging shows graphene nanoribbons retain atomic structure and adjustable electronic alignment after transfer to ...

The discovery could significantly reduce the production costs of fuels, chemicals, and materials. A research team from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities College of Science and Engineering and ...

Argonne scientists have come closer to creating a quantum spin liquid, a rare state of matter that could help enable fault-tolerant quantum computers. They studied a honeycomb-structured material ...

Making electrons flow like a liquid is difficult, but inside graphene researchers forced them to move so fast that they ...

Yet even at this apparently late date in the field's development, there are companies that are still developing entirely new qubit technologies, betting the company that they have identified something ...

Three scientists at U.S. universities won the Nobel Prize in physics for advancing quantum technology. Here's why their work matters.

The discovery honored with this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics takes phenomena observed in the subatomic world—the ...

For decades, it's been known that subtle chemical patterns exist in metal alloys, but researchers thought they were too minor to matter—or that they got erased during manufacturing. However, recent ...

Thinking about joining Amazon Prime for the upcoming Big Deal Days event? Want to make sure you're getting the most from your membership? Here are all the benefits, prices, and plans. What started in ...

Cellular membrane proteins play many important roles throughout the body, including transporting substances in and out of the cell, transmitting signals, speeding up reactions and helping neighboring ...
