The discovery of "hidden orders," organization patterns in materials that cannot be detected using conventional measurement tools, can yield valuable insight, which can in turn support the design of new materials with advantageous ...
The collision and merger of two neutron stars鈥攖he incredibly dense remnants of collapsed stars鈥攁re some of the most energetic events in the universe, producing a variety of signals that can be observed on Earth.
The universe is a slow-changing place. While it's mostly true that the heavens and the deep-sky objects in it will look largely the same across an average human lifetime, there are dramatic examples that defy this trend.
Excitons, bound states between an electron (i.e., a negatively charged particle) and a hole (i.e., the absence of an electron) in materials, are a key focus of condensed matter physics studies. These bound states can give ...
Recent research has found a new way to make graphene that adds structural defects to improve the performance of the material that could have benefits across a range of applications鈥攆rom sensors and batteries, to electronics.
A new trick for modeling molecules with quantum accuracy takes a step toward revealing the equation at the center of a popular simulation approach, which is used in fundamental chemistry and materials science studies.
When model cell membranes bind to biomaterials, it is not the binding strength but the speed of the receptors in the membranes that is crucial. This was discovered by an international research team led by chemist Professor ...
In a collaboration showing the power of innovation and teamwork, physicists and engineers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory developed a mobile muon detector that promises to enhance monitoring for ...
Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, together with international collaborators, have developed a new electron microscopy method that has enabled the first-ever imaging of vibrations, or phonons, in specific ...
Researchers, including those from the University of Tokyo, have successfully grown large tomatoes and cherry tomatoes, both rich in nutrients, in tightly controlled environments where the light source was energy-efficient ...
