Superconductivity is a quantum state of matter characterized by an electrical resistance of zero and the expulsion of ...

Diamonds are famous for their strength, but scientists have long suspected that another form of diamond might be even harder. Evidence of this was gathered over the past sixty years in meteorite ...

The workers who build and maintain Britain’s Trident nuclear arsenal are to go on strike in a row over hundreds of job cuts ...

Chinese scientists create pure-phase hexagonal diamond, a rare carbon crystal that could rival traditional diamonds in strength.

Electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, thanks to tiny atomic vibrations acting like a “molecular catapult.” In experiments lasting just 18 ...

Researchers at Cornell University have developed a powerful imaging technique that reveals atomic scale defects inside computer chips for the first time. Using an advanced electron microscopy method, ...

After decades of chasing after a rare hexagonal diamond, a Chinese team says their iteration of the elusive material is the ...

When Richard Feynman first conceived of quantum computers in the 1980s, he believed they should primarily investigate quantum phenomena. So that’s what a group of chemists did: they used quantum ...

A team at IBM Research has assembled a strange new ring-shaped molecule that bends around like a more complicated Möbius strip ...

A research team from multiple institutions including the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (CAS), Beijing Computational Science Research Center, and Hangzhou Dianzi University ...

A DGIST research team led by Prof. Yoo Wookyung (Department of Brain Sciences) and Prof. Kim Jin Hae (Department of New Biology) developed an innovative analytical technology in collaboration with a ...

A new AI-driven technique spots the telltale Raman signal of liquid-like ion motion—helping scientists rapidly identify materials for next-generation solid-state batteries.
