A team of researchers is trying to bring order to electron movement inside fusion reactors so it can develop a nearly limitless energy source.

Getting an up-close view of life at the cellular level can be as simple as placing onion skin under a microscope and adjusting the knobs. Peering deeper, into the heart of the atoms within, isn't as ...

Defect-filled lead-halide perovskites rival silicon solar cells because domain walls inside the material separate and guide charges. Researchers visualized these charge-transport networks using a ...

Six planets, Mercury, Venus, Neptune, Saturn, Uranus, and Jupiter, will be visible, according to NASA. Seeing a parade of six or even seven planets is rare. Of the six, four will be visible to the ...

Protopasta unveiled a quantum dot filament at CES 2026 that glows in intense, vivid colors under UV light. Developed with ...

For the first time, a team of US researchers has used sensors containing highly excited Rydberg atoms to detect signals from ...

Phonons are the collective vibrations that move through a solid. They can be thought of as waves traveling across the atomic ...

Cottrell teacher-scholar award winner Meaghan Deegan balances cutting-edge research in synthetic compound stabilization with ...

The discovery of bright yet stable pigments is vanishingly rare, making them hugely valuable. Now chemist Mas Subramanian is unpicking the atomic code of colour and homing in on our most-wanted hue ...

Quantum computers need special materials called topological superconductors—but they’ve been notoriously difficult to create.

After nearly 50 years of failed attempts and scientific speculation, chemists at Saarland University have achieved what many ...

The Schrödinger equation rewrote the rules of matter and forever changed the field of chemistry. Donald Truhlar, a chemist at the University of Minnesota, calls it the “greatest advance of the 20th ...
