5+ hour, 47+ min ago  (355+ words) Scientists at Australian National University (ANU) have reported the first confirmed observation of atoms engaged in one of the most perplexing behaviors known to modern physics: the apparent ability to exist in two entirely separate places at once. The phenomenon,…...

5+ day, 8+ hour ago  (875+ words) University of Kentucky researchers exploring potential uses for stillage, the sloshy, soup-like byproduct of Kentucky bourbon production, have converted the hard-to-treat material into an electrode for a "super" supercapacitor. The UK research team said that their stillage-derived "super" supercapacitor stores…...

3+ week, 9+ hour ago  (712+ words) Research funded by the United States Army Research Lab (ARL) has developed a composite "super foam" material that absorbs ten times more energy than current energy-absorbing foams. The Texas A&M-led research team behind the advanced, energy-absorbing material said its…...

1+ mon, 3+ week ago  (541+ words) A new study based on James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations reports that organic molecules are much more prevalent outside our galaxy than previously believed, after analyzing data from a heavily obscured supermassive black hole. Researchers from Spain's Center for…...

2+ mon, 2+ day ago  (837+ words) Rice University researchers conducting experiments with virtually identical replicas of the light bulbs designed by Thomas Edison have determined that the 19th-century inventor may have created graphene more than 130 years before scientists confirmed the two-dimensional material's existence. The team behind…...

2+ mon, 3+ day ago  (475+ words) Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE) have detected a ring-shaped molecule with 13 atoms, including sulfur, in deep space for the first time. The team behind the discovery of 2,5-cyclohexadiene-1-thione (C'H'S) said finding such a complex…...

2+ mon, 5+ day ago  (388+ words) UCLA researchers who first violated Bredt's rule in 2024a century-old principle of organic chemistryare once again challenging our understanding of possible molecular shapes. Bredt's rule states that two carbon atoms cannot form a double bond at the bridgehead position. Yet in…...

2+ mon, 1+ week ago  (437+ words) North Carolina State University scientists have created a futuristic material that heals itself over 1,000 times, which could lead to cars, aircraft, wind turbines, and spacecraft lasting for centuries without costly maintenance and repair. Although the new material, which is stronger…...

2+ mon, 2+ week ago  (642+ words) Frozen crystals of hydrogen cyanide, a highly poisonous gas, could nonetheless play an essential role in giving rise to life on frigid alien worlds, including Saturn's moon Titan, research reveals. Despite the substance's lethality, frozen hydrogen cyanide crystals are highly…...

2+ mon, 2+ week ago  (399+ words) An international team of more than 60 scientists reports the successful creation of an extreme form of matter known as superionic water, thereby solving the mystery of this unusual state's internal structure. While the new study was not the first to…...
