A groundbreaking discovery reveals that ice can generate electricity when bent, a phenomenon called flexoelectricity, which is significantly enhanced by salt, potentially leading to sustainable energy ...

Dark energy—the term used to describe whatever is causing the universe to expand at an increasing rate—is one of the universe ...

At just 25, Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin applied quantum physics to a treasure trove of astronomical observations to show that stars are mostly hydrogen and helium.

Combining ice with salt makes the electrical charge exponentially stronger. It could be a useful power source for a more ...

Noise is disruptive, whether you're trying to get a good night’s sleep or working with the principles of quantum physics.

HyTerra reviews seismic data at its Nemaha project in Kansas, understanding of the extent of hydrogen and helium at play. ...

The number of women in highly technical jobs has grown by just two per cent in five years and greater interventions are ...

APL’s CHESS thin films nearly double refrigeration efficiency. The scalable materials could transform cooling and energy-harvesting technologies. Scientists at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics ...

These phenomena are erratic. They interact at every scale and manifest as weather, from clear sunny days to blustery blizzards and the anomalous events — from hurricanes and polar vortices to ...

The universe has many secrets we'll never discover, and the domain wall is one of them. I The expansion is ongoing, and it ...
