Immediately after the Big Bang boomed, the Universe was a trillion-degree 'soup' of unimaginably dense plasma. In a breakthrough experiment, researchers have found the first evidence that this exotic ...

X-ray free electron lasers (XFELs) are particle accelerators that create pulses of light of extremely short duration, similar to that of some lasers used in eye surgery. Combined with the X-ray energy ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward mimicking nature’s tiniest gateways by creating ultra-small pores that rival the dimensions of biological ion channels—just a few atoms wide. The breakthrough ...

Outside of winter, chronic itch affects millions of people with conditions including eczema, psoriasis, and kidney disease. Understanding the precise biological mechanisms that regulate itch—including ...

There’s a mysterious energy quietly influencing your brain. Could it explain where your consciousness originates?

A rule-breaking discovery by Dean Christopher Schuh reveals a new way to strengthen metal in extreme conditions.

French quantum computing company Pasqal is reportedly in talks to raise €200 million in a funding round that would value it ...

By applying voltage to electrically control a new "transistor" membrane, researchers at Lawrence Livermore National ...

For the first time, researchers have shown that self-assembled phosphorus chains can host genuinely one-dimensional electron ...

Ion channels are narrow passageways that play a pivotal role in many biological processes. To model how ions move through these tight spaces, pores need to be fabricated at very small length scales.

Sometimes, even the simplest things can set off a quantum phenomenon.

India is sitting on a goldmine of strategic minerals inside discarded smartphones. Explore the science behind turning e-waste ...
