The familiar hum of a microwave oven hides a small piece of quantum-era engineering: a wartime radar tube, a resonant metal ...

A brand-new paper has just been published that claims to challenge the century-old dogma that Alzheimer’s disease is irreversible. That’s a big claim—and big claims demand strong data..

How does water's behavior change when there’s a free electron around? Researchers figured this out, with implications on the understanding of biological radiation damage. (Nanowerk News) Radiation is ...

Scientific and engineering breakthroughs are allowing us to make ammonia from pollution rather than fossil fuels.

To combat climate change, the world needs green molecules in addition to green electrons. “If we look how the economy is carbonised, an electron can only decarbonise between 60% to 70% of the economy, ...

Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have developed a method to destroy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, the persistent synthetic compounds known as “forever chemicals,” using ...

Last week, IBM trumpeted its contributions to a rather unusual paper: the production of a molecule with a half-Möbius topology, assisted by an algorithm run in part on a quantum computer. There was, ...

Chemists have discovered a new molecular shape, and it is twice as odd as the twisty Möbius strip. The Möbius strip is a looped band with a twist, such that something tiny, such as an ant, would have ...

Scientists have just created a new, strange type of molecule. It’s made of a bunch of atoms bound together in a ring, like many other, simpler molecules. But if you could somehow zoom in on the ...

If you were asked to picture how electrons move, you could be forgiven for imagining a stream of particles sluicing down a wire like water rushing through a pipe. After all, we often describe ...
