Researchers at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have built a generative AI model that reconstructs the three-dimensional geometry of molecules from the scattered ion ...

Mercury is a metal, yet it has some weird physical properties, including being a liquid at room temperature.

A scalable spray-drying method produces graphite, carbon nanotube, and silicon composite anodes that retain 95% capacity after 100 cycles in lithium-ion batteries.

Crystal jellyfish have an eerie beauty: thanks to a natural protein, they emit a faint green glow. For decades, researchers ...

The transparent four-terminal perovskite solar cell employs an ion-modulated spiro-MeOTAD hole transport layer, which passivates interfacial defects, enhances carrier dynamics, and allows for a ...

Physicists in China have demonstrated that a structure called an optical metasurface can individually trap up to 78,400 ...

A research team led by Professors Caichao Wan and Yiqiang Wu at Central South University of Forestry and Technology reports on synergistic strategies that combine ultramicropore confinement with ...

A single layer of atoms may seem too thin to meaningfully interact with light, yet materials like tungsten disulfide are reshaping what is possible in nanophotonics. Researchers have now found a way ...
