Now that researchers have an effective method for decoding the ants' odorant receptors, the biologists can now begin deciphering the chemical codes that the insects use to communicate

A precise new way to study materials shows this ‘electron-phonon coupling’ can be far stronger than predicted, and could potentially play a role in unconventional superconductivity

The method could potentially be used on anything from heat pumps to wind turbines to airplanes

The Higgs amplitude mode is a condensed matter cousin of the Higgs boson, the storied quantum particle theorized in the 1960s and proven experimentally in 2012

"Mollusc shells are viewed by the aquaculture and seafood industries as 'nuisance waste' and largely disposed of in landfills", says researcher

The technology could also enable a new class of devices that can be powered by harvesting energy from low-power sources, such as the body or the surrounding environment, researchers said

Corrosive seawater encourages growth of rare minerals

Material adsorbs more than 90 percent of the dye and enhances the rate of dye breakdown by almost ten times using visible light

Scintillating discovery at Sandia Labs

New product doubles as a centrifuge-compatible collection plate, solves shortfalls of off-the-shelf plasticware

Finding a molecular needle in a haystack

One potential application of the system includes producing capillary systems for artificial organs
