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

Electric vehicles have raced ahead on performance and price, but their batteries still struggle with durability, charging ...

When materials become just one atom thick, melting no longer follows the familiar rules. Instead of jumping straight from solid to liquid, an unusual in-between state emerges, where atomic positions ...

Scientists studying molten metals have uncovered a surprising truth: even in a liquid state, some atoms do not move at all. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Motionless atoms can trap liquid metal in a strange ...

Physicists have pushed one of the strangest ideas in science into new territory, holding tiny clumps of metal in a quantum limbo that recalls Schrödinger’s famous cat. Instead of a single atom or ...

A bullet-speed experiment reveals that the Earth's inner core may be softer and more dynamic than previously thought.

The center of the Earth might not be the rigid ball of solid iron scientists once imagined, new research says it’s softer.
