A new X-ray imaging technique could transform how hospitals analyze tissue samples, potentially speeding up diagnoses and ...

Diamonds are famous for their strength, but scientists have long suspected that another form of diamond might be even harder.

If you think “instantaneous” happens in a second, you should meet Haiwang Yong. An assistant professor of chemistry at the ...

A research team led by Sun Jian at Nanjing University has produced recoverable, millimeter-sized crystals of hexagonal diamond, a rare carbon polymorph that prior theoretical work has suggested could ...

Honoring Rosalind Franklin: the overlooked pioneer whose vital contributions to DNA research reshaped science and women's legacy.

After decades of debate, researchers say that they have found the clearest evidence yet for this rare form of carbon ...

Researchers characterized two moisture-swing polymers for direct air capture, finding that macropore structure governs CO2 sorption capacity and kinetics.

Over the past century, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased dramatically. This rise has contributed to global warming and led ...

Diamonds are famous for their strength, but scientists have long suspected that another form of diamond might be even harder. Evidence of this was gathered over the past sixty years in meteorite ...

X-ray “molecular movies” reveal how intense lasers tear apart C 60 molecules and push us closer to directing chemical reactions with light. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com FEL X-ray ...

Optical dispersion occurs when the refractive index of a material changes with the wavelength of incoming light. This variation causes different colors to move at different speeds in transparent media ...

Carbon fiber is a critical material in a wide range of industries, where it is highly valued for its high specific strength/stiffness, excellent wear resistance, efficient electrical and thermal ...
