Experiments show fusion plasma can stay stable at higher densities by controlling reactor walls, challenging long-standing limits.

A 13-atom molecule containing sulfur has been discovered in interstellar space for the first time, providing insight into the origins of the chemistry of life.

It has been revealed that simply twisting and stacking two layers of oxide crystals can allow the atomic arrangement itself ...

A burst of invisible light can do more than illuminate a surface. In a new study, Michigan State University researchers used ...

Plastic is everywhere. From water bottles and food containers to household items and packaging, modern life depends heavily ...

As air carriers tighten the screws on passengers carrying their luggage on board, these little accessories can make a big ...

Atoms that occur in nature interact with the electromagnetic field at a single point, allowing scientists to make certain assumptions about energy levels with point-like references. However, ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in ...

Scientists have uncovered that some atoms in liquids don't move at all—even at extreme temperatures—and these anchored atoms dramatically alter the way materials freeze. Using advanced electron ...

At low temperatures, hydrogen atoms move less like particles and more like waves. This characteristic enables quantum tunneling, the passage of an atom through a barrier with a higher potential energy ...

One of the more outrageous fallacies about Green Bay Packers history is that the Acme Packing Co. played an important role in the team's survival. Notwithstanding Acme's purchase of a limited number ...

I've been a travel editor for nearly a decade—and a travel enthusiast for far longer than that—so at this point, I feel quite comfortable calling myself a packing expert. I've checked bags on budget ...
