As industries seek innovative solutions for carbon capture, scientists have turned to advanced materials that efficiently trap and store carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚) from industrial emissions.
The architecture of northern Iran exhibits an extroverted quality. Buildings are designed to let in the sounds of rain, birds and rustling trees, as well as scents of nature.
Sphalerite is a very cool mineral. It is a beautiful, complex and diverse zinc sulfide (ZnS) mineral that also hosts a treasure trove of other critical elements. These include manganese, cadmium, mercury, indium, thallium, ...
Researchers led by the University of Glasgow in Scotland have identified a Late Upper Paleolithic site in the far north of the Isle of Skye, marking the most northerly evidence of Ahrensburgian culture in Britain.
X-ray imaging is indispensable in medical diagnostics and material characterization. To generate an image, a detector converts X-rays that pass through the object into electrical signals. Higher detector sensitivity enables ...
Chirality—the property of an object that is distinct from its mirror image—has long captivated scientists across biology, chemistry, and physics. The phenomenon is sometimes called "handedness," because it refers to an ...
What do chickens and people with a common reproductive disorder have in common? More than one might think—and a widely-used diabetes medication might just be the surprising link.
Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and DOE's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have uncovered an unexpected interface layer that may be hindering the performance ...
An international team has succeeded at BESSY II for the first time to elucidate how ultrafast spin-polarized current pulses can be characterized by measuring the ultrafast demagnetization in a magnetic layer system within ...
Origami—the Japanese art of folding paper—could be the next frontier in innovative materials. Practiced in Japan since the early 1600s, origami involves combining simple folding techniques to create intricate designs. ...
