July will see the launch of the groundbreaking Solar EruptioN Integral Field Spectrograph mission, or SNIFS. Delivered to space via a Black Brant IX sounding rocket, SNIFS will explore the energy and dynamics of the chromosphere, ...
Researchers at The University of Texas at Arlington have discovered a surprising new type of magnetic property that could lead to stronger magnets made from tiny particles of common iron oxide. This finding could enhance ...
Researchers at Forschungszentrum Jülich have successfully created the world's first experimentally verified two-dimensional half metal—a material that conducts electricity using electrons of just one spin type: either ...
Back in high school chemistry, I remember waiting with my bench partner for crystals to form on our stick in the cup of blue solution. Other groups around us jumped with joy when their crystals formed, but my group just waited. ...
Centuries ago, alchemists worked furiously to convert the common metal lead to valuable gold. Today, chemists are repurposing discarded solar panels to create valuable organic compounds from carbon dioxide (CO2), a common ...
Understanding the interaction between light and matter at the smallest scales (angstrom scale) is essential for advancing technology and materials science. Atomic-scale structures, such as defects in diamonds or molecules ...
How is ventilation at various depth layers of the Atlantic connected and what role do changes in ocean circulation play? Researchers from Bremen, Kiel and Edinburgh have pursued this question and their findings have now been ...
The Skoltech Laboratory of Nanomaterials, along with the Ural Federal University and the Institute of Engineering Science Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, have published findings on how single-walled carbon ...
Three stories above the Field Museum's exhibits, rows and rows of taxidermied chipmunks filled a tray in the museum's mammal archives. Pointing to two of the oldest critters, mammalogist Stephanie Smith picked up the pair ...
A research team led by Associate Professor Boon Siang Yeo from the Department of Chemistry at National University of Singapore (NUS) has developed a new way to turn carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into valuable liquid hydrocarbons, ...
