In a series of experiments at Johns Hopkins University, Lily Zhao fired tiny samples of a microorganism with a room-sized gas ...

Cambridge scientists have discovered a light-powered chemical reaction that lets researchers modify complex drug molecules at the final stages of development. Unlike traditional methods that rely on ...

In the middle of the old-growth forests of Congaree National Park in South Carolina, fireflies put on an otherworldly display ...

Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, reproducing the quantum Hall effect with photons for the first time. The experiment, carried out on an optical fiber ...

A surprising lab discovery reveals a light-powered way to tweak complex drugs faster, cleaner, and later in development.

Fermilab's FAST/IOTA accelerator test facility has successfully accelerated and stored its first proton beams.

Scientists have discovered that electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, driven by tiny atomic vibrations.

Electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, thanks to tiny atomic vibrations acting like a “molecular catapult.” In experiments lasting just 18 ...

Electrical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated the fastest pyroelectric photodetector to date, which works by absorbing heat generated by incoming light. Capable of capturing light from the ...

Based on ancient beliefs, sacred texts, and scientific hypotheses, the shiny yellow metal either is the dominion of the gods, the brilliant brainchild and deliberate handiwork of divine alchemy, or ...

There is a silence in the night sky that has bothered me for as long as I can remember. ” Richard Feynman’s reflection lingers because it feels personal.
