Phonons are the collective vibrations that move through a solid. They can be thought of as waves traveling across the atomic ...

Getting an up-close view of life at the cellular level can be as simple as placing onion skin under a microscope and adjusting the knobs. Peering deeper, into the heart of the atoms within, isn't as ...

In the era of climate crisis, hydrogen vehicles are emerging as an alternative for eco-friendly mobility. However, the fuel cell, known as the "heart of the hydrogen car," still faces limitations of ...

After nearly 50 years of failed attempts and scientific speculation, chemists at Saarland University have achieved what many ...

New findings published in the journal Cell about the Andes virus, a hantavirus endemic to the southwestern U.S. and other ...

A research team led by Professor Taesung Kim from the School of Mechanical Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University has ...

There were schools of thought in Ancient Greece that speculated about extraterrestrial life, in trying to answer questions ...

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 ...

In chemistry, molecules with a "flat" geometry are often stable enough to support a wide range of reactions. But in the quantum world, that's not technically true.

Atoms measure roughly 0.1 nanometers across, a scale so small that scientists spent more than six decades developing ...

Despite the title, this isn’t really a story about superconductivity—at least not the superconductivity that people care ...

In a new study ( Nature Physics, "Orbital Seebeck effect induced by chiral phonons" ), researchers developed the most ...
