Researchers catch atoms standing still inside molten metal

Scientists have uncovered that some atoms in liquids don't move at all—even at extreme temperatures—and these anchored atoms dramatically alter the way materials...

Paper mill waste could unlock cheaper clean energy

Scientists developed a high-performance hydrogen-production catalyst using lignin, a common waste product from paper and biorefinery processes. The nickel–iron oxide nanoparticles embedded in...

The “impossible” LED breakthrough that changes everything

Scientists have discovered how to electrically power insulating nanoparticles using organic molecules that act like tiny antennas. These hybrids generate extremely pure near-infrared...

A 1950s material just set a modern record for lightning-fast chips

Researchers engineered a strained germanium layer on silicon that allows charge to move faster than in any silicon-compatible material to date. This record...

New low temperature fuel cell could transform hydrogen power

Kyushu University scientists have achieved a major leap in fuel cell technology by enabling efficient proton transport at just 300°C. Their scandium-doped oxide...

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...
