Scientists twist tiny crystals to control electricity

Researchers have developed a technique that allows them to carve complex three dimensional nanodevices directly from single crystals. To demonstrate its power, they...

New catalyst makes plastic upcycling 10x more efficient than platinum

Scientists are finding new ways to replace expensive, scarce platinum catalysts with something far more abundant: tungsten carbide. By carefully controlling how tungsten...

Scientists just overturned a 100-year-old rule of chemistry, and the results are “impossible”

Chemists at UCLA are showing that some of organic chemistry’s most famous “rules” aren’t as unbreakable as once thought. By creating bizarre, cage-shaped...

Physicists challenge a 200-year-old law of thermodynamics at the atomic scale

A long-standing law of thermodynamics turns out to have a loophole at the smallest scales. Researchers have shown that quantum engines made of...

Researchers unlocked a new shortcut to quantum materials

Scientists are learning how to temporarily reshape materials by nudging their internal quantum rhythms instead of blasting them with extreme lasers. By harnessing...

This new building material pulls carbon out of the air

A new building material developed by engineers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute could change how the world builds. Made using an enzyme that turns...

This tiny power module could change how the world uses energy

As global energy demand surges—driven by AI-hungry data centers, advanced manufacturing, and electrified transportation—researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory have unveiled a...

Silver just solved a major solid-state battery problem

Solid-state batteries could store more energy and charge faster than today’s batteries, but they tend to crack and fail over time. Stanford researchers...

Engineers just created a “phonon laser” that could shrink your next smartphone

Engineers have created a device that generates incredibly tiny, earthquake-like vibrations on a microchip—and it could transform future electronics. Using a new kind...
