Researchers use microscopy to chart amyloid beta’s underlying structure and yield insight into neurodegenerative disease.

A new essay explores which conditions must be met for consciousness to exist. At least one of them can’t be found in a computer.

A new ambient-energy-driven membrane that pumps carbon dioxide out of the air has been developed by researchers.

Researchers has revealed the existence of surface concavities on individual crystal grains — which are the fundamental blocks — of perovskite thin films, and have unraveled their significant effects on the film properties and reliability. Based on this discovery, the team pioneered a new way of making perovskite solar cells more efficient and stable via

Researchers have found that titanium-48 changes from a shell model structure to an alpha-cluster structure depending on the distance from the center of the nucleus. The results upend the conventional understanding of nuclear structure and are expected to provide clues to the Gamow theory on the alpha-decay process that occurs in heavy nuclei, which has

Chemists have been working to synthesize high-value materials from waste molecules for years.

The first rumblings of the Sun’s next 11-year solar cycle have been detected in sound waves inside our home star — even though it is only halfway through its current one. This existing cycle is now at its peak, or ‘solar maximum’ — which is when the Sun’s magnetic field flips and its poles swap

Space storms could soon be forecasted with greater accuracy than ever before thanks to a big leap forward in our understanding of exactly when a violent solar eruption may hit Earth. Scientists say it is now possible to predict the precise speed a coronal mass ejection (CME) is travelling at and when it will smash

Creating fertilizers from organic waste can help reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and promote sustainable production. One way of doing this is through hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL), which converts biomass into biocrude oil through a high-temperature, high-pressure process. Two studies explore the use of a fungal treatment to convert the leftover wastewater into fertilizer for

As the number of major utility-scale ground solar panel installations grows, concerns about their impacts on natural hydrologic processes also have grown. However, a new study by Penn State researchers suggests that excess runoff or increased erosion can be easily mitigated — if these ‘solar farms’ are properly built.
