Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime produced by violent cosmic events, such as the merging of black holes. So far, ...

Scientists have built atom-sized pores that act like living ion channels, opening the door to next-generation nanotech.

A new quantum system called giant superatoms could protect quantum information and enable entanglement between multiple ...

The conversion of carbon dioxide (CO₂) into carbon monoxide (CO), an industrial feedstock, has attracted significant ...

Physicists have for the first time observed light drifting sideways in discrete, quantized steps, reproducing a quantum Hall effect that was previously seen only in electrons confined to ultra-thin ...

A team of researchers co-led by the University of California San Diego, University of Michigan, and the French National ...

Making computer chips smaller is not just about better design. It also depends on a critical step in manufacturing called patterning, where nanoscale structures are carved into materials to form the ...

A detailed high-level ab initio calculation on H atom abstraction (HAA) reactions from four branched pentanol isomers of 2-methyl-1-butanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol, 3-methyl-2-butanol, and ...

A team of Rice University researchers and collaborators showed that a two-layer Janus TMD material — molybdenum sulfur selenide stacked on molybdenum disulfide (bottom right: optical image of a sample ...
