This chain of atoms can detect electric fields with stunning precision

A new quantum sensing approach could dramatically improve how scientists measure low-frequency electric fields, a task that has long been limited by bulky...

These cheap solar cells work better because they’re flawed

Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the material actually help,...

Saturn’s magnetic field is twisted and scientists just figured out why

Saturn’s magnetic field isn’t the smooth, symmetrical shield scientists see around Earth. Instead, it’s noticeably skewed, and researchers now think they understand why....

MXene breakthrough boosts conductivity 160x with perfect atomic order

A new breakthrough is transforming MXenes—ultra-thin, high-tech materials—into something far more powerful and precise. Researchers have developed a cleaner, more controlled way to...

Physicists just solved a strange fusion mystery that stumped experts

Fusion scientists have solved a long-standing mystery inside tokamaks, the donut-shaped machines designed to harness fusion energy. For years, experiments showed that escaping...

These “smart” crystals bend and snap back when hit with light

Perovskite crystals can dramatically and reversibly change shape when hit with light, a behavior not seen in conventional semiconductors. This effect, called photostriction,...

Stanford scientists create shape-shifting material that changes color and texture like an octopus

A new shape-shifting material can change both its texture and color in seconds, inspired by the camouflage abilities of octopuses. By precisely controlling...

Scientists turn MXene into tiny nanoscrolls that supercharge batteries and sensors

Scientists have transformed a groundbreaking 2D nanomaterial called MXene into an even more powerful 1D form—tiny scroll-like tubes that are incredibly thin yet...

This new carbon material could make carbon capture far more affordable

Scientists have created a new kind of carbon material that could make carbon capture much cheaper and more efficient. By carefully controlling how...
