A new bio-inspired molecule captures solar energy and releases it as heat on demand, outperforming lithium-ion batteries.

Understanding what complex chemical measurements reveal about materials and reactions can take weeks or months of analysis. But now, an AI-powered platform developed by researchers at the Department ...

Superhydrophobic surfaces—those famously "never-wet" materials that make water bead up and roll away—have a stubborn weakness: hot water. Once temperatures climb above roughly 40 degrees Celsius, many ...

Immediately after the Big Bang boomed, the Universe was a trillion-degree 'soup' of unimaginably dense plasma. In a breakthrough experiment, researchers have found the first evidence that this exotic ...

The project is now in its 20th year of operation, stretching from the chenier plains of the state’s southwest to the sinking soils at the Mississippi’s mouth.

A college student is setting his sights on a career in international science and forensics.

Kids got to head to the Saugus Public Library Friday morning for a lesson in science from the educational entertainment company Science Heroes, giving them a chance to join in on experiments and learn ...

Experiments reveal that unsaturated lipid membranes promote vesicle fusion and DNA retention during freeze–thaw cycles, highlighting icy environments as potential drivers of protocell evolution. Today ...

On Dec. 25, 2002, Lewis Kay was in his lab at the University of Toronto, devising new ways to observe the invisible machinery of life. Or trying to, at least. The large molecules Kay has spent his ...
