Scientific discoveries and research
When the solar system formed, a disk of gas and dust orbited the young sun. Over the course of millions of years, the dust gradually clumped together...
Society depends on chemistry far more than we consciously realize, from medicines to energy to electronics. However, chemistry is viewed with as much...
Solo living in your own home places a greater strain on the planet's resources than living with others, as everyone needs their own appliances—a toast...
Biomolecules, also known as organic molecules, include sugars, proteins and lipids and are the building blocks of all life. They play a role in the st...
Researchers at Kyoto University and Tohoku University have developed a new porous polymer gel that selectively recognizes specific molecules (referred...
The mechanism of high-temperature (TC) superconductivity is a key challenge in condensed matter physics. Recently, Chinese scientists made significant...
Natural geological processes have been regulating Earth's climate for millions of years. Accelerated versions of these processes are now being promote...
Thawing permafrost is rapidly transforming dozens of Arctic streams into acidic, metal-laden waterways, according to new research published in Science...
When they reach the bottom of a soap dispenser, frugal handwashers might try adding water to the bottle to push out the last bit of soap. But usually,...
An interdisciplinary student research team at the University of Waterloo has achieved an advance in materials science with the creation of a tissue-li...
In the crushing darkness of the hadal zone—deep ocean trenches plunging 6,000 m to nearly 11,000 m—scientists have uncovered a hidden community. A stu...
Diamond is extremely valuable to science and technology not for its sparkle but for its extreme hardness, high thermal conductivity, transparency to a...
