Are small plastic particles really present throughout the human body, or is the science still too uncertain to support such ...

At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same time. Matter no longer behaves like solid objects moving along clear paths.

Proteins are the building blocks of life. These biomolecules comprise chains of amino acids that fold into precise shapes to ...

The dazzling lights of the aurora are created when high-energy particles from space collide with Earth's atmosphere. While ...

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have achieved a breakthrough on the path to practical application of lithium metal all-solid-state batteries – the next generation of batteries that can ...

When materials become just one atom thick, melting no longer follows the familiar rules. Instead of jumping straight from solid to liquid, an unusual in-between state emerges, where atomic positions ...

Plastic-infused asphalt can also save money. Because it lasts longer and resists cracking, cities may spend less on repairs ...

This isn’t the famous sample reported last September, but another with different signs of past life we’re struggling to ...

Researchers have discovered a hidden quantum geometry inside materials that subtly steers electrons, echoing how gravity ...

A single gold nanoparticle tends to absorb within a narrow band. Much of its strongest response sits in visible wavelengths.
