For decades, scientists have believed that complex life began when two very different microbes joined forces, eventually giving rise to plants, animals, and fungi. But one major puzzle remained: how ...
In this article, Dr Mike McDonagh examines the practical considerations when seeking to minimise the negative impacts of the sources of battery formation ...
Gold has long stood apart from other metals. It does not rust like iron or tarnish like silver. Its shine endures across centuries, even in open air. For years, scientists believed this stability came ...
While designing anything for operation in space has its challenges, there is at least one thing that is more of a problem for objects in Earth orbit than for deep-space probes: atomic oxygen. We like ...
Optimizing the local structure of Pt-group oxygen electrocatalysts at the atomic level for fuel cells and electrolyzers was hilighted, including the general synthesis methods, typical ...
What began as a daring scuba adventure in the Maldives ended in horror this week after five Italian tourists never resurfaced from a deep-water cave expedition. Officials are scrambling to determine ...
A new electrochemical system simultaneously converts plant-derived materials and nitrate pollutants into valuable industrial ...
Most clocks, from wristwatches to the systems that run GPS and the internet, work by tracking regular, repeating motions. To build a clock, you need something that ticks in a perfectly repeatable way.
Tiny changes at the atomic scale can determine the future of clean energy. In a new study, Tohoku University researchers have revealed how the precise coordination environment surrounding a single ...
a) Atomic structure of the four molecules with different first-shell Co–N coordination considered in this study and (b) schematic illustration of the heterogeneous molecular catalysts (HMCs) prepared ...
How some of the world’s most precise clocks missed a very small beat. By Mike Ives and Adeel Hassan Time appeared to skip a beat last week when some of the world’s most accurate clocks were affected ...
Yuri Ralchenko led one of the oldest teams at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The fate of some experiments hangs in the air. Lost Science Yuri Ralchenko led one of the oldest teams ...
