A simple oxygen hack creates 7 new ceramic materials

Penn State researchers created seven new high-entropy oxides by removing oxygen during synthesis, enabling metals that normally destabilize to form rock-salt ceramics. Machine...

New graphene breakthrough supercharges energy storage

Engineers have unlocked a new class of supercapacitor material that could rival traditional batteries in energy while charging dramatically faster. By redesigning carbon...

A surprising new method finally makes teflon recyclable

Researchers have discovered a low-energy way to recycle Teflon® by using mechanical motion and sodium metal. The process turns the notoriously durable plastic...

This glowing particle in a laser trap may reveal how lightning begins

Using a precisely aligned pair of laser beams, scientists can now hold a single aerosol particle in place and monitor how it charges...

Century-old catalysis puzzle cracked by measuring a fraction of an electron

Scientists have directly measured the minuscule electron sharing that makes precious-metal catalysts so effective. Their new technique, IET, reveals how molecules bind and...

MIT ultrasonic tech pulls drinking water from air in minutes

MIT engineers have created an ultrasonic device that rapidly frees water from materials designed to absorb moisture from the air. Instead of waiting...

Nanoscale trick makes “dark excitons” glow 300,000 times stronger

Researchers have found a way to make “dark excitons”—normally invisible quantum states of light—shine dramatically brighter by trapping them inside a tiny gold-nanotube...

“Great Unified Microscope” reveals micro and nano worlds in a single view

A new dual-light microscope lets researchers observe micro- and nanoscale activity inside living cells without using dyes. The system captures both detailed structures...

Breakthrough shows light can move atoms in 2D semiconductors
