After nearly 20 years of operations, NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) is on a roll, performing a new maneuver to squeeze even more science out of the busy spacecraft as it circles the Red Planet. Engineers have essentially ...
Scientists have identified what could be the oldest rocks on Earth from a rock formation in Canada.
The transition to agriculture and a sedentary lifestyle is one of the great turning points in human history. Yet how this Neolithic way of life spread from the Fertile Crescent across Anatolia and into the Aegean has been ...
When phones or computers are recycled, small amounts of important materials get discarded. Those minute amounts of cobalt, nickel and lithium add up quickly, and separating and recovering these "critical materials" for reuse ...
An international team of scientists with a variety of backgrounds has found evidence that a boomerang found in a cave in Poland decades ago may be the oldest one ever reported. In their study published on the open-access ...
Magnetic-superconducting hybrid systems are key to unlocking topological superconductivity, a state that could host Majorana modes with potential applications in fault-tolerant quantum computing. However, creating stable, ...
A luxurious fiber once reserved exclusively for emperors in ancient times has been brought back to life by Korean researchers. A team led by Professor Dong Soo Hwang and Professor Jimin Choi has successfully recreated a golden ...
A team of international scientists headed by Prof. Marco Salvalaglio from TUD–Dresden University of Technology has found out that internal stresses—not just interface energy—play a key role in shaping the microstructure ...
Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, report in Small, on how short peptides self-assemble linearly on atomically-thick solid surfaces, such as graphite and MoS2.
Nanoparticles (NPs) are materials whose dimensions range from 1 to 1,000 nanometers (nm). Due to their nano-scale dimensions and tunable material properties, NPs have gained interest in the global scientific community in ...
