In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity ...

A pivotal scene in the explosive hit biopic and Best Picture winner, "Oppenheimer," involves America's top scientists ...

Humans began creating alloys about 5,000 years ago by combining copper and tin to produce bronze. Since then, alloy design ...

Neutrinos and antineutrinos are elementary particles with small but unknown mass. High-precision atomic mass measurements have revealed that beta decay of the silver-110 isomer has a strong potential ...

In these semiconductors, that polarity can flip under an electric field—and stay that way even after the field is gone.

The mechanism that stabilizes new ferroelectric semiconductors also creates a conductive pathway, which could make them ...

Scientists have expanded on a longstanding model governing the mechanics behind slip banding, a process that produces strain marks in metals under compression, gaining a new understanding of the ...

SARAH KREPS is John L. Wetherill Professor and Director of the Tech Policy Institute at Cornell University and a Nonresident ...

Atomic-scale imaging reveals that chalcogen atoms play a crucial role in Cooper pairing in Fe-based superconductors, offering new insights into high-Tc superconductivity mechanisms. Superconductivity ...

Many atomic nuclei have a magnetic field similar to that of Earth. However, directly at the surface of a heavy nucleus such ...

While CEO Elon Musk divides opinion, there’s no doubt that the Tesla Model Y is one of the best EVs that’s currently available to buy. It was good before, but Tesla’s engineers have made a ...
