Many materials store information about what has happened to them in a sort of material memory, like wrinkles on a once crumpled piece of paper. Now, a team led by Penn State physicists has uncovered ...

This year, the world is marking the 100th anniversary of quantum mechanics, the beginning of a scientific revolution so important that it prompted the United Nations to declare 2025 as the ...

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — By combining forefront X-ray observations with state-of-the-art supercomputer simulations of the buildup of galaxies over cosmic history, researchers have provided the best ...

A new method improves the extraction and separation of rare earth elements—a group of 17 elements critical for technologies such as smart phones and electric car batteries—from unconventional sources.

The Eberly College of Science Office for Innovation (O4I) is launching a call that brings together the College’s research translation programs—Lab Bench to Commercialization Phases (LB2C) and the ...

While rotating tiny planets at the end of their wires around a bright orange sun, some might wonder about the accuracy of these toy models of our solar system. Do the planets really align in a plane, ...
