Scientists are learning how to temporarily reshape materials by nudging their internal quantum rhythms instead of blasting them with extreme lasers. By harnessing excitons, short-lived energy pairs ...

Research in the lab of UC Santa Barbara materials professor Stephen Wilson is focused on understanding the fundamental ...

The center of the Earth might not be the rigid ball of solid iron scientists once imagined, new research says it’s softer.

When quantum spins interact, they can produce collective behaviors that defy long-standing expectations. Researchers have now ...

To recognize why the Silicon Carbide Crucible dominates severe atmospheres, photo a tiny fortress. Its framework is a lattice ...

Scientists have shown that twisting a crystal at the nanoscale can turn it into a tiny, reversible diode, hinting at a new ...

Astronomers have long sought evidence to explain why comets at the outskirts of our own solar system contain crystalline ...

Astronomers have been given a new and incredibly detailed look at a very familiar astronomical object thanks to the James ...

“A high-voltage, iron-based cathode could avoid the trade-off between higher voltage and higher-cost metals that previously dominated cathode materials,” Mu notes. In principle, this would enable ...
