An atom consists of a heavy center, called the nucleus, made of particles called protons and neutrons. An atom has lighter ...

A precious metal used everywhere from car exhaust systems to fuel cells, platinum is an incredibly efficient catalyst—but it's costly and carbon-intensive. Now, a serendipitous collaboration between ...

In recent years, single-atom catalysts (SACs) have become a hotspot of research in catalysis due to their specific coordination structure and the ...

The precursors of heavy elements might arise in the plasma underbellies of swollen stars or in smoldering stellar corpses.

It is possible to make a material emit more radiation than it absorbs, violating the laws of physics in a way that could make ...

The surprising answer is that more massive atoms are made in stars. To make atoms with several protons and neutrons stuck together in the nucleus requires the type of high-energy collisions that ...

This research could represent the first documented case of paracetamol production from plastic waste using E. coli bacteria.

The creation of a new magnetic molecule could pave the way to build new, stamp-sized hard drives capable of holding the ...

I know a young woman who, in her formative years, became a Lego expert. No matter how complex the project, she could quickly ...
