Researchers have discovered a new class of materials -- called intercrystals -- with unique electronic properties that could ...

Pore-forming proteins in living cells, termed ion channels, are embedded in the outer membrane of almost all cell types and ...

Researchers have demonstrated that by using a semiconductor with flexible bonds, the material can be moulded into various ...

Researchers mould a single-element semiconductor into diverse nanoscale structures without changing its composition, enabling ...

Korean researchers have developed the world's smallest semiconductor, marking a breakthrough in eco-friendly hydrogen production.

Selenium supports cognitive health by reducing oxidative damage in the brain Selenium is a trace mineral that the body needs in small amounts to function properly. It plays a vital role in ...

When crews arrived on scene they reported heavy fire coming from a two-story structure. KCFD crews attempted to battle the fire from inside but had to quickly evacuate due to the size of the fire ...

Two years ago this month the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission was in process of formation. Now the discussions on international control of atomic energy are about to be adjourned indefinitely, ...

In the U.S., a new atomic clock called NIST-F4 has already proven to be one of the most precise timekeepers yet. Assembled by scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, NIST-F4 ...

For more than 100 years, scientists have used a method called crystallography to determine the atomic structure of materials. The method works by shining an X-ray beam through a material sample and ...

Stretch a chain of just a few atoms by a fraction of a nanometer, and the flow of electrons can change dramatically, shifting a structure from highly conductive to nearly insulating. Yet directly ...
