Researchers have been developing computers that deploy light (photons) rather than electricity to power storage and ...

A discovery about Saturn's moon Titan has challenged what scientists thought was a basic rule of chemistry. There, in the extreme cold, some supposedly fundamentally incompatible molecules may combine ...

Physicists at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) in Hamburg have discovered a striking ...

Their theoretical analysis identified several possible stable crystal forms, which they propose are stabilized ... Victoria Atkinson is a freelance science journalist, specializing in chemistry and ...

NYU scientists unveil gyromorphs, a new material that blocks light from all angles, boosting next-gen light-based computing.

Hydrogen cyanide is what's described as a polar molecule, in the sense that it has one side with a positive electric charge and another side that is negative. This means that it prefers to link up ...

Scientists from NASA and Chalmers University have discovered that incompatible substances can mix on Titan’s icy surface, breaking the “like dissolves like” rule of chemistry. Under ultra-cold ...

The parasite that causes the deadly disease malaria is full of tiny crystals that constantly spin—a mystery for decades. New ...

NYU scientists report the discovery of “gyromorphs”—a material that combines the seemingly incompatible properties of liquids ...

Reptiles release solid crystals instead of liquid waste. This clever survival trick may lead to new treatments for gout and kidney stones.

A research team from Virginia Tech has developed initial approaches to remove frost without using energy-intensive heat or ...
