More than a century before graphene was isolated in a modern lab, Thomas Edison may have been unknowingly making the wonder ...

These chemical oddities may explain why Earth seems to be deficient in certain elements — and could prove useful in catalysts ...

Argonne National Laboratory has made extremely precise measurements of unstable ruthenium nuclei. The measurements are a ...

Beauty R&D is shifting toward “materials intelligence,” using AI and atom-level simulation to model ingredient interactions, ...

This has now paved the way for a multi-ion optical ytterbium clock that combines the high accuracy of single-ion clocks with ...

When materials become just one atom thick, melting no longer follows the familiar rules. Instead of jumping straight from solid to liquid, an unusual in-between state emerges, where atomic positions ...

Experience teaches humility. True expertise is built on mistakes and lessons learned. Niels Bohr, a renowned physicist, believed experts make all possible errors in a narrow field. This approach fuels ...

For many years, cesium atomic clocks have been reliably keeping time around the world. But the future belongs to even more ...

Copper atoms trapped in MXene nanochannels remove 94.9% of bisphenol A in 5 minutes by concentrating reactants and lowering the energy needed for breakdown.

Abstract: With the miniaturization and high-power requirements of microelectronic devices, the current density carried by interconnects in packaging structures continually increases and reaches the ...
