The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has cleared a major hurdle in making a Generation IV nuclear reactor practical. Using a ...

Rare and powerful compounds, known as keystone molecules, can build a web of invisible interactions among species.

Life's building blocks may not have been crafted in the lightning flashes of a tempest, a new study suggests, so much as in the ceaseless glow of rolling ocean mists.

The Miller-Urey hypothesis is based on a famous 1952 experiment in which researchers successfully formed these organic molecules by applying an electrical current to a mixture of water and Earth’s ...

This partnership underscores the rising importance of lithium in various sectors, from energy storage to pharmaceuticals.

Instead, it may have started with tiny “micro lightning” sparks generated between water droplets from crashing waves or waterfalls. This fascinating new perspective comes from Stanford University ...
