MXenes are materials with almost miraculous properties: they can be used for electromagnetic shielding, for energy storage or for novel sensors. It was recently found that they are also amazingly ...

The study, led by King's College London in collaboration with George Washington University, US, discovered new candidates for these so called 'deafness genes'. With previous research identifying ...

Quasicrystals are intriguing materials with long-range atomic order that lack periodicity. It has been a longstanding question whether antiferromagnetism, while commonly found in regular crystals, is ...

A team has revealed new insights into the motion of massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), a small galaxy neighboring the Milky Way. Their findings suggest that the gravitational pull of ...

Researchers have developed a pioneering, sustainable method for producing cadmium-based quantum dots (QDs) in water using a biocompatible chalcogen source. This fully aqueous, continuous flow process ...

A study has 'listened in' to the fascinating courtship displays of Fiddler crabs using geophones. The findings provide new insights into how the animals communicate effectively on the noisy seashore.

As coral bleaching and deaths become more widespread globally, experts show that over a third of restoration projects fail and might never be scalable enough to have positive effects on reef ...

A new analysis finds a significant uptick in the number of people dying at home due to ischemic stroke compared to inpatient medical facilities, and when not at home, individuals in rural communities ...

Physicists have shown that particles produced in collimated sprays called jets retain information about their origins in subatomic particle smashups.

The United Nations organization responsible for international marine shipping today approved new emission reduction policies. A new paper highlights the need. Researchers surveyed 149 marine shipping ...

Using electrodes in a fluid form, researchers have developed a battery that can take any shape. This soft and conformable battery can be integrated into future technology in a completely new way.

Virginia Tech researchers seek to understand the environmental factors that influence the distribution of hantavirus in rodent populations across the United States.
