Scientific discoveries and research
Most solid materials we rely on, from steel, to plastics and ceramics, are designed to have specific properties. Whether a material is soft and flexib...
Hibernation is a risky endeavor for many animals, as they can be taken away by the elements or predators. For several months of the year, queen bumble...
For the first time, scientists have used DNA preserved in ancient sediments to examine how a major natural disaster affected animal populations. A new...
The growing paleopathological literature shows that scurvy was not a rare problem among people living in the ancient Asia-Pacific tropics. Scurvy is i...
Kyushu University researchers have directly observed, for the first time, how individual polymers—chain-like molecules—behave when in contact with sol...
Engineering silicon carbide (SiC) with tailored morphologies for electronics and structural reinforcement materials has always been a costly and time-...
To unlock materials of the future, including better photocatalysts or light-switchable superconductors, researchers need to understand how the valence...
Liquid water is considered essential for life. Surprisingly, however, stable conditions that are conducive to life could exist far from any sun. A res...
Over the past decades, energy engineers have developed increasingly advanced battery technologies that can store more energy, charge faster and mainta...
Californians have long dealt with wildfire smoke as a seasonal fact of life, but those fires have become more intense and frequent, raising the profil...
Drug delivery researchers have vastly improved the potential of genetic therapies by overcoming the challenge of consistently getting genes and gene-e...
Electron movement and structures described in quantum physics allow researchers to better understand how and why materials like superconductors behave...
