Sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) are gaining traction as a next-generation technology to complement the widely used lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). NIBs offer clear advantages versus LIBs in terms of ...

A doctoral researcher in Australia has successfully recreated cosmic dust inside a laboratory, offering a new way to study ...

Scientists have discovered that DNA behaves in a surprising way when squeezed through tiny nanopores, overturning a long-held ...

Plutonium (Pu) exhibits one of the most diverse and complex chemistries of any element in the periodic table. Since its discovery in 1940, scientists have synthesized and studied many different types ...

A common iron mineral hiding in soil turns out to be far better at trapping carbon than scientists realized. Its surface ...

These chemical oddities may explain why Earth seems to be deficient in certain elements — and could prove useful in catalysts ...

CERN's ALICE experiment has resolved the puzzle of deuteron formation, showing that most deuterons form via resonance-driven ...

Forty years ago, Voyager 2 flew past Uranus and observed radiation levels that defied explanation. Now, scientists may ...

Scientists discover how bones “listen” to exercise and activate cellular signals that strengthen bone structure.
