Iridium oxide is one of the most important—and most problematic—materials in the global push toward clean energy. It is ...

This episode was produced in collaboration with and sponsored by Emerson. When scientists first split the atom, they didn’t realize what they’d done until physicist Lise Meitner figured out they had ...

When we first learn about atoms, we learn that the simplest has one electron buzzing around one proton, aka hydrogen. But it ...

Can a single particle have a temperature? It may seem impossible with our standard understanding of temperature, but ...

Researchers have uncovered how atoms subtly rearrange themselves for up to a trillionth of a second before releasing ...

A major step towards simpler drug development has been taken at the University of Gothenburg. In a new study, researchers have developed stable boron-fluorine compounds that make it possible to ...

Tests in a gate-defined loop on graphene tracked a fractional charge circling back with a steady interference beat, as ...

Scientists have shattered the diffraction limit, using continuous-wave lasers to resolve images at 0.1 nanometers.

Physicists have observed a strange new quantum phase in a graphene-based system, where a superfluid appears to freeze into a solid-like state. Cooling usually pushes matter through a simple sequence.

Optical atomic clocks are 100 times more precise than cesium clocks. Scientists are using them to search for dark matter and measure gravity.

Hammond Police Department mourns the loss of K-9 Atom, a courageous officer who served with honor and bravery. His legacy ...

“Looking at things at a very, very fast rate allows us to observe weird and wonderful phenomena,” Salamat says, calling the ...
