Experiments at Berkeley Lab confirm that structural defects at the periphery are key in catalyst function

A new method for controlling the DNA duplication process makes it possible to shrink the current desktop machines to handheld devices which could be used in the field to provide early diagnosis of a wide range of infectious diseases

Electrochemical technique traps up to 24 percent of nickel in metal-rich seawater in one week

The new type of resin for adhesives and coatings, developed by researchers at Kansas State University, is the first plant-based resin of its kind

For almost a decade, Dr. Tyson Littenberg has been searching for the gravitational wave signals of black holes on behalf of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory

Using the evolutionary technique ALE, scientists have now engineered E. coli cells into producing large quantities of serine, which is used in detergents, tube feeding formula, and as building blocks for many important chemicals

Finding may help researchers fine-tune metal-oxide catalysts to enhance energy storage technology

An international team of scientists led by Penn State may have solved the 30-year-old riddle of why certain ferroelectric crystals exhibit extremely strong piezoelectric responses

PPPL physicists report that they created the phenomenon in a laboratory setting where they could measure it directly and confirm its existence on the electron scale

By observing the change in the behavior of these electrons, scientists may be able to gain an enriched understanding of material behavior

In addition to a fully detailed how-to video that the group produced for the public, the results of the work developing this do-it-yourself, handheld acoustic tractor beam will appear this week as an open access paper

Researchers were able to create ST12-germanium in a large enough sample size to confirm its characteristics and useful properties
