Study suggests that coal-burning activities in the Asia-Pacific region have influenced environmental conditions in the United States Pacific Northwest

A new study shows that, as materials age, they 'remember' prior stresses and external forces, which scientists and engineers can then use to create new materials with unique properties

Instead of the current definition based on comparisons to electrical heating, the NIST study suggests the optical watt could be determined from light's radiation force and its speed, a fundamental constant

Gas halos are the perfect food for supermassive black holes at the center of early galaxies, which are now seen as they were over 12.5 billion years ago

New studies show how scientists have honed a technique for handling tiny, soft particles using precisely controlled fluid flows that act as gentle microscopic hands

In just the last four years, tuning non-fullerene acceptors chemistry has boosted organic photovoltaic technology from initially converting only one percent of sunlight into electricity to 18 percent conversion in recent experiments

Although coastal wetlands cover only about two percent of the ocean surface, they are estimated to sequester more than 50 percent of the carbon captured by the ocean per year

Within the last 10 years, there has been extensive research on "photoredox catalysts" that can be activated by visible light and enable highly specific and efficient chemical reactions

The image may sound like an alien winter wonderland, but the scientists who led the research said it is akin to how rocks form inside volcanoes

In order to fully tap into a liquid crystal's wondrous properties, its constituent particles must be systematically assembled
