This new diamond battery acts like a kind of solar panel, but instead of soaking in light, it captures fast-moving electrons ...

Earth’s core could contain helium from the early solar system. The noble gas tucks into gaps in iron crystals under high pressure and temperature.

Detecting radiation is a fundamental necessity for national security, but doing so effectively and at a distance is a tall order. A new technique pioneered by scientists at the University of Maryland ...

Earth’s climate over millions of years is shaped by both internal forces, like volcanic activity, and external ones, such as ...

The discovery that inert helium can form bonds with iron may reshape our understanding of Earth’s history. Researchers from ...

Utah has the lowest rate of smoking in the nation, but lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the state, ...

Scientists discovered that volcanic eruptions in India’s Deccan Traps 66 million years ago released gases that altered ...

In a record-breaking test, researchers remotely detected radioactive material by shooting it with infrared laser pulses and ...

Nuclear power comes with almost zero greenhouse gas emissions, but has its own issues in the form of radioactive waste.

This photo provided by interviewee shows a prototype of ultra-longevity carbon-14 (C-14) nuclear battery, named Zhulong-1, in Wuxi, east China's ...

There seems to be too much of a radioactive element in rocks deep in the Pacific Ocean – how did it get there 10 million years ago?

The surprise discovery that one of the lightest elements in the Universe can bind to iron under high pressure to form iron ...
