Nuclear fusion combines light hydrogen atoms to release energy, similar to the sun's processes. Fusion reactors are ...

A new federally funded study by researchers at Duke University and the University of Pennsylvania offers an unprecedented ...

For the first time, researchers have shown that self-assembled phosphorus chains can host genuinely one-dimensional electron ...

There's a reason why blacksmiths fire metals before hammering them. Heat always softens metal, making it more malleable and easier to reshape. Or does it? In a surprising new study, Northwestern ...

Scientists have long debated whether most of Earth's vital liquid was delivered via icy comets or was homemade ...

Machine learning algorithms that output human-readable equations and design rules are transforming how electrocatalysts for ...

US researchers achieve a major milestone after successfully trapping plutonium ion between two Keggin ion molecular cages.

A new topology-based method predicts atomic charges in metal-organic frameworks from bond connectivity alone, making large-scale computational screening practical.

As much as 45 oceans’ worth of hydrogen may be in Earth’s core, scientists reported, suggesting most of Earth’s water was ...

This illustration shows a typewriter with the keys depicted as the periodic table. Hands are typing on it, and the sheet of paper coming out of it shows the words "Tales from the table." Credit: Chris ...

When we first learn about atoms, we learn that the simplest has one electron buzzing around one proton, aka hydrogen. But it ...
