Materials scientists can learn a lot about a sample material by shooting lasers at it. With nonlinear optical microscopy—a ...

Inspired by an artist's stencils, researchers have developed atomic-level precision patterning on nanoparticle surfaces, ...

According to Alfred Nobel's will, the Nobel Prize in Physics was to go to "the person who shall have made the most important ...

Water, though familiar, still hides astonishing secrets. When squeezed into nanosized channels, it can enter a bizarre “premelting state” that is both solid and liquid at once. Using advanced NMR ...

The process comprises a surface nitrogenation step via N + ion bombardment, followed by O 2 plasma treatment to form volatile etching byproducts. This approach enables subatomic-level etching ...

Neutrino lasers: It’s an idea that many physicists didn’t see coming. At first glance, physics suggests that it would be impossible to make a laser of neutrinos, famously elusive subatomic particles.

Slime is a popular toy for children manufactured by Mattel, the same company behind Barbie. Made from a mix of guar gum, borax, and water, slime has a sticky and stretchy texture that kids enjoy ...

Talen Energy (NASDAQ: TLN) reported Q2 2025 results, announced a major expansion of its power deal with Amazon Web Services (AWS), and inked agreements to acquire two large gas-fired plants in a ...

Even as the global car market continues to shift, one thing remains certain: Toyota knows how to move metal. After a brief detour in second place, the Toyota RAV4 is back on top as the world’s ...

When it comes to artificial intelligence, more intensive computing uses more energy, producing more greenhouse gases. By Sachi Kitajima Mulkey Graphics by Harry Stevens From uninvited results at the ...

Using optical tweezers composed of laser light, researchers have developed a novel way to manipulate individual atoms and create a state of hyper-entanglement. This breakthrough could lead to new ...
