A study shows that electrical charges in sprays of water can cause chemical reactions that form organic molecules from inorganic materials. The findings provide evidence that microlightning may have ...

Replicating the natural process plants use to create their own food from sun and water could ease some environmental issues.

Primordial supernovae got the ball rolling a quick hundred million years or so after the start of the universe.

Life may not have begun with a dramatic lightning strike into the ocean but from many smaller "microlightning" exchanges among water droplets from ...

But real lightning would have struck infrequently—and mostly in open ocean, where organic compounds would have quickly ...

Hydrogen from geological formations makes up about 10% of the flammable gases that form the Yanartaş flames near Cirali, ...

The SNS offers unprecedented research opportunities due to its intensely bright neutrons and world-class instruments. EQ-SANS is one of 19 instruments available at SNS for users such as Ünnep and ...

Breakthrough research from Cornell University could help make clean energy more affordable and widespread by replacing an ...

A solar-powered process is transforming sewage sludge into green hydrogen and single-cell protein for animal feed.

A new study suggests that clues about dark matter may be hidden in the Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone, where unexplained ...

With artificial photosynthesis, mankind could utilise solar energy to bind carbon dioxide and produce hydrogen. Chemists from Würzburg and Seoul have taken this one step further: They have synthesised ...

Artificial photosynthesis holds the key to cleaner energy and carbon capture, but replicating nature’s process is no easy ...
