Deep in the swamps of the American Southeast stands a quiet giant: the bald cypress (Taxodium distichum). These majestic trees, with their knobby "knees" and towering trunks, are more than just swamp dwellers—they're some ...
At the 2025 IEEE International Interconnect Technology Conference (IITC), imec, a research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies, has presented Ru lines at 16nm pitch with average resistance as low ...
Â鶹ÒùÔºicists at Loughborough University have used cutting-edge nanotechnology to create what they believe may be "the world's smallest violin," which is small enough to fit within the width of a human hair.
A shard of smooth bone etched with irregular marks dating back 20,000 years puzzled archaeologists until they noticed something unique—the etchings, lines like tally marks, may have represented prime numbers. Similarly, ...
An SMU-led research team has developed a more cost-effective, energy-efficient material called high-entropy oxide (HEO) nanoribbons that can resist heat, corrosion and other harsh conditions better than current materials.
In a world increasingly driven by high-speed communication and low-power electronics, a team of researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) has proposed ...
Water reshapes Earth through slow, powerful erosion, carving intricate landscapes like caves and pinnacles in soluble rocks such as limestone. An international team from the Faculty of Â鶹ÒùÔºics at the University of Warsaw, ...
When Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis recently said he'd sign into law a ban on "weather modification activities"—such as spreading tiny particles into the air from aircraft to control sunlight—it raised long-standing controversies ...
Plasma—the electrically charged fourth state of matter—is at the heart of many important industrial processes, including those used to make computer chips and coat materials.
Imagine drawing on something as delicate as a living cell—without damaging it. Researchers at the University of Missouri have made this discovery using an unexpected combination of tools: frozen ethanol, electron beams ...
