In this experiment, we explore the strange behavior of granular materials, how tiny grains can appear to defy gravity, flow ...

If you think of a single atom as a grain of sand, then a wavelength of visible light—which is a thousand times larger than ...

Brazilian researchers have developed a technique that estimates the force exerted on each grain of sand in a dune from images ...

When engineers dream about lighter aircraft, longer-range EVs, and nimble drones, one family of metals keeps resurfacing: magnesium-lithium alloys. They’re the lightest structural metals on earth, but ...

Physicists have uncovered the fascinating world of “rotating crystals” — solids made of spinning particles that behave in ...

Researchers from the Department of Biotechnology and Food Science at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology are turning the residues left over from the manufacture of beer or whiskey — ...

We have come a long way as a nation. Once, the person regarded as the ‘Father of the Nation’ D. S. Senanayake in 1944, stated ...

Anode-free metal batteries offer high energy densities, but suffer from dendritic growth and short circuits, arising from non ...

Scientists reexamining data from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft have uncovered exciting new evidence from Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus. The spacecraft detected complex organic molecules being blasted into ...

Researchers have discovered chemical fingerprints of Earth's earliest incarnation, preserved in ancient mantle rocks. A ...

Hidden deep in ancient rocks, scientists have found the surviving traces of Earth’s first form—unchanged for 4.5 billion ...
