These chemical oddities may explain why Earth seems to be deficient in certain elements — and could prove useful in catalysts ...

A thin, watery layer coating the surface of ice is what makes it slick. Despite a great deal of theorizing over the centuries, though, it isn't entirely clear why that layer forms.

A new scientific review outlines how a little understood class of battery materials could help deliver safer, higher energy lithium ion batteries while reducing reliance on critical metals such as ...

Mid- and far-infrared birefringent crystals are key functional materials for polarization control, laser technologies, and ...

Most magnets are predictable. Cool them down, and their tiny magnetic moments snap into ...

A single gold nanoparticle tends to absorb within a narrow band. Much of its strongest response sits in visible wavelengths. In the new work, the scientists packed many particles into a tight, crystal ...
