Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have used specialized tools to study materials at the atomic scale and analyze ...

One of the great successes of 20th-century physics was the quantum mechanical description of solids. This allowed scientists to understand for the ...

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected breakdown of nuclear order in a remarkably symmetric atom, challenging long-standing ideas about where such effects can occur.

The science of catalysis and surface science have developed, independently, key information for understanding catalytic processes. One might argue: is there anything fundamental to be discovered ...

A team of researchers from the University of Nottingham and the University of Ulm has identified a new state of matter, one ...

Developing durable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts for acidic media is vital for advancing proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWE). This study reveals that the stability of ...

Scientists reveal a new state of matter between liquids and solids, where some atoms remain immobile even in molten metals.

Astronomers have uncovered a vast, razor-thin strand of galaxies that is not just drifting through space but spinning ...

Scientists have discovered a giant cosmic filament where galaxies spin in sync with the structure that holds them together.

New research offers clearer insight into how phase transitions unfold at the atomic scale in real materials. When ice turns into water, the change happens almost instantly. Once the melting ...

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are emerging as promising electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), a key ...
