From smartphone charging to hydrogen production, the fundamental principles of energy technology have been revealed. Korean ...

For decades, relaxor ferroelectrics have powered everything from medical ultrasounds to sonar systems, yet their inner atomic ...

Why are medicine and materials converging now? Cancer treatment, artificial joints, regenerative medicine, and fuel ...

A new study by University of Maryland chemical physicists demonstrates how to control the nuclear spin of molecular hydrogen ...

The giant planets of the Solar System have complex interiors that have been difficult to pin down. Inside Uranus and Neptune, we expect carbon to form diamonds raining down towards the center. Now, ...

This schematic illustrates the fabrication of a single-atom catalyst by introducing a molecular anchoring agent (phytic acid) into a manganese (Mn)-nickel (Ni) layered double hydroxide (LDH) framework ...

For over a decade, confusion over the size of the proton has held scientists back. Disagreeing measurements of the subatomic particle’s radius meant that scientists couldn’t test one of their key ...

Chemistry textbooks explain how reactions start and end, but they rarely show what happens in between. Seeing these hidden moments matters because chemistry is ultimately governed by quantum rules. By ...

In a quiet lab at Argonne National Laboratory, Saw-Wai Hla and his team were huddled around their instruments late one night when they detected the spectral signature they had been searching for. The ...

Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD), an advanced synthesis technique capable of precise thin-film control, has become a versatile platform for optoelectronic materials engineering. This technology uses high ...
