Dimensions beyond the four we’re familiar with could solve a host of problems in physics and cosmology. Columnist Leah Crane ...

After decades of debate, researchers say that they have found the clearest evidence yet for this rare form of carbon ...

Physicists have detected laser-assisted electron scattering using circularly polarized light for the first time, revealing new ways to probe atomic-scale chirality.

Uber cofounder Travis Kalanick thinks we're on the precipice of a golden age. Kalanick unveiled Atoms, his new robotics ...

Physicists just discovered a brand-new particle that appears to be an exotic cousin to the protons and neutrons that make up ...

Chemists have developed a light-driven method for producing a rare and highly strained molecular structure known as “housane.” Designing a new drug often starts with a basic but difficult task: making ...

Atomic structure of the hexagonal diamond. Image from the study. Researchers named it lonsdaleite, after crystallographer ...

Silicon's evolution from sand to semiconductor revolutionized electronics, enabling miniaturization and powering modern ...

The Deep Potential Model paired with Raman spectroscopy show unexpected findings when a highly symmetric material is bent in a zigzag pattern.

Carbon is everywhere. It forms the graphite in pencils, the diamonds in jewelry and the molecules that make up every living thing. Under extreme conditions -- like the heat and pressure of intense ...

Platinum works beautifully. It speeds up chemical reactions, holds up under punishment, and sits reliably at the center of industrial processes worth billions of dollars annually. It also costs ...
