SAN ANTONIO – Hello parents, teachers and students! Are you looking for something fun to do at home that has a little bit of science behind it? Well, check out this cool experiment that allows kids a ...

But what does that mean? The simple answer is how heavy something is for its size. If something seems very heavy for its size (like a heavy metal object), we say it is more dense. If something seems ...

Three decades after wolves were reintroduced in Yellowstone National Park, aspen stands are recovering, a new analysis suggests.

Researchers have developed a lithium-air battery with an energy density over 500Wh/kg -- significantly higher than currently lithium ion batteries. The research team then confirmed that this battery ...

Researchers found a way to tune the spin density in diamond by applying an external laser or microwave beam. The finding could open new possibilities for advanced quantum devices. Electronic devices ...

For electric planes to really take off and for electric cars to travel far longer distances between charges, we'll need batteries that pack far more energy without becoming prohibitively heavy. A team ...
