In chemistry, molecules with a "flat" geometry are often stable enough to support a wide range of reactions. But in the quantum world, that's not technically true.

Whether in our bodies or in fuel cells, phosphoric acid plays an important role in many chemical processes because it is exceptionally good at transporting charges. Researchers from the Department of ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one. In everyday ...

After several weeks of expectation surrounding the conversation between Gabriel Rufián and Emilio Delgado, the event that ...

For the first time, astronomers have mapped the vertical structure of Uranus’ ionosphere, uncovering unexpected temperature ...

Atoms measure roughly 0.1 nanometers across, a scale so small that scientists spent more than six decades developing ...

An “echo” that arrives before you finish speaking sounds like a glitch. In quantum hardware, that kind of self-interference ...

Engineers can now build spacecraft electronics that are intrinsically radiation-tolerant, significantly reducing launch weight.

Scientists developed a single-atom iridium catalyst that drives both water-splitting reactions on one electrode, using 98.5% less precious metal for cheaper green hydrogen.

Scientists saw a quark plowing through primordial plasma for the first time, offering a rare look at the first moments after ...

A long-standing chemistry challenge has been solved with the synthesis of a five-atom silicon aromatic ring. The breakthrough validates decades of theory and points toward new industrially relevant ...
