From the beloved Tama, Japan’s stationmaster calico cat, to Garfield, the world-famous lasagna enthusiast, orange-colored felines have long captured hearts and imaginations. But behind their ...

Laser-driven ion acceleration has long been a powerful tool, capable of generating extreme energies in an instant. It has been hailed for applications ranging from cancer treatment to semiconductor ...

The study looks at hydrogen-rich compounds formed at very high pressures by hydrogen gas — the dumbbell-shaped molecules — and the alkali metals cesium and rubidium. Similar compounds of strontium ...

Active galaxy 1ES 1927+654, circled, has exhibited extraordinary changes since 2018, when a major outburst occurred in visible, ultraviolet, and X-ray light. The galaxy harbors a central black hole ...

The researchers demonstrated the membrane’s performance in lab-scale experiments, pictured, using a novel membrane to filter various solutions that were similar in content to the waste streams ...

A team of researchers from around the world, headed by Texas Engineers, has devised a method for using a laser to disintegrate the molecules in plastics and other substances into their smallest ...

Dark matter is a theoretical type of matter that scientists believe exists because of gravitational effects that can’t be explained by current theories of gravity unless there is more unseen matter in ...

Quasicrystals (QCs) have a unique atomic arrangement that lacks periodicity, giving them unusual symmetries not found in regular crystals. Scientists have been exploring their quasiperiodic magnetic ...

Imagine a type of matter where particles are arranged in a neat crystal pattern but can flow without friction. This peculiar state is called a supersolid, requiring particles to share a common phase ...

This photo, taken by PPPL Associate Research Physicist Eric Emdee, is figuratively reminiscent of the lithium vapor cave proposed to protect the interior parts of a tokamak from excess heat coming off ...
