A false-color electron microscope image shows the devices. Using the new scalable fabrication technique, researchers fabricated more than 1,000 devices using sub-nanometer molecular layers. Credit: ...

Unlike sunlight or lightning, which affect the whole planet, auroral activity is confined to specific areas. As a result, ...

Humans have much larger brains than other primates, which need a lot of glucose to function. Scientists think changes in gut microbes (gut microbiota) may help meet this demand. A study at ...

Just as lotus leaves inspire water-repellent coatings and spider silk inspires ultra-strong fibers, eggshells may one day ...

You can see shelves full of plastics, bottles, wrappers, and containers in any grocery store. You can’t see the tiny pieces that break off over time and float into our food, water, and even the air we ...

A team led by Brandon Boor at Purdue University has shown that fragrance compounds in cleaning products, whether conventional ...

The bright points are radio-emitting galaxies and other compact sources, whose emission is much stronger than the faint ...

Although controlled experiments offer promise for improving weather forecasts, progress in real-world applications has been ...

Most experiments hunt for particles around the size of atoms, but some theories suggest dark matter could be far heavier, so massive that a single particle might rival the weight ...

Participants were randomly assigned to either standard treatment or immediate monitoring for 14 days using a small, waterproof, leadless device that continuously recorded their heart rhythms. In the ...

Venus is unique among the inner planets. Earth has the Moon, Mars has two small satellites, and even Mercury may once have had companions that the Sun’s gravity stripped away. But Venus today is ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have uncovered compelling evidence of massive black holes in the ...
