Research suggests some metals’ semicore electrons may be more active on Earth’s surface than previously thought.

Simply put, molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance. A mole is a unit for counting particles in chemistry, typically measured in terms of Avogadro’s number, which is 6.022 x 10^23 particles ...

Making electrons flow like a liquid is difficult, but inside graphene researchers forced them to move so fast that they ...

New studies of the “platypus of materials” help explain how their atoms arrange themselves into orderly, but nonrepeating, ...

Virtual particles may not be real, but they help physicists track how forces move, and allow for incredibly precise ...

More than 50 years after the Apollo 17 Moon rocks returned to Earth, researchers are still uncovered surprising new details ...

The discovery could significantly reduce the production costs of fuels, chemicals, and materials. A research team from the ...

Researchers have for the first time measured the true properties of individual MXene flakes—an exciting new nanomaterial with ...

Harnessing quantum states that avoid thermalization enables energy harvesters to surpass traditional thermodynamic limits ...

Gold, uranium, and other heavy elements on Earth did not form here. They were born in the violent deaths of massive stars and the collisions of neutron stars, traveling across the galaxy before ...

Everything around us is built from sets of chemical elements. From the air we breathe to the jewelry we wear. All of these ...

Sealed Apollo 17 samples analyzed with new techniques reveal that the Moon’s interior contains sulfur isotopes unlike those ...
