A team of researchers from Tohoku University, National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST), and Cambridge University have demonstrated a new way to make a unique material called tin sulfide (SnS), which can ...
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are materials consisting of individual metal atoms dispersed on a substrate (i.e., supporting surface). Recent studies have highlighted the promise of these catalysts for the efficient conversion ...
The Apollo astronauts didn't know what they'd find when they explored the surface of the moon, but they certainly didn't expect to see drifts of tiny, bright orange glass beads glistening among the otherwise monochrome piles ...
A unique archaeological find has recently expanded our knowledge of Neanderthals' capacity for symbolic thought. The object in question is a granite stone, on which a red ochre dot was deliberately applied to reinforce the ...
Researchers at the Institute of Â鶹ÒùÔºics in Zagreb, Croatia, in collaboration with international partners, have showcased new methods for visualizing atomic-scale changes in advanced materials.
The calcitic layers of the eggshells of archosaurs (including crocodilians and birds) and turtles are composed of distinctive crystalline structures known as eggshell units. Those growing from the shell membrane are called ...
New techniques used to analyze soft tissue in dinosaur fossils may hold the key to new cancer discoveries, according to a study published in the journal Biology.
In March 2022, Stellenbosch University (SU) student Rohan Barnard was out on a farm in the Swartberg Mountains between Calitzdorp and Oudtshoorn, flipping over rocks looking for ants, reptiles and other critters, when he ...
In the depths of the San Lázaro rock-shelter in Segovia, Central Spain, archaeologists from the Complutense University of Madrid and collaborators have uncovered a compelling trace of Neanderthal symbolic cognition: a pigment-marked ...
In the tangled darkness of Southeast Asian mangrove forests, one crab species appears to have evolved a structure that functions like a miniature car headlamp. Researchers at the National University of Singapore have discovered ...
