When we first learn about atoms, we learn that the simplest has one electron buzzing around one proton, aka hydrogen. But it ...

The tiny atom, the basic building block of everything, is itself almost nothing, but atoms form a crossroads where science ...

Liquids and solutions are complex environments—think, for example, of sugar dissolving in water, where each sugar molecule becomes surrounded by a restless crowd of water molecules. Inside living ...

For more than 200 years, scientists have argued about a deceptively simple question: why does a sheet of frozen water let us ...

Sulfur, long feared as a "poison" that shuts down precious metal catalysts, can actually help them work better when ...

Identical growth conditions yield uniform monolayer graphene on three different perovskite oxides, suggesting gas-phase ...

Earth’s deep interior still shapes the world above your feet. Water trapped far below the surface helps control how rocks move, melt, and recycle through the mantle.

In a year packed full of phenomenal cometary capers, astrophotographer Dan Bartlett captured a staggering image of comet ...

Scientists have developed a new technique that doubles the amount of hydrogen produced when splitting water molecules with ...

Reservoirs of hydrogen gas that form naturally in Earth's crust could help humans decarbonize. The challenge now is finding these accumulations and working out how best to mine them, experts say.

Researchers have created a dye-sensitized photocatalyst that captures long-wavelength visible light to double solar hydrogen ...
