Advance could lead to quantum computing and the secure transfer of information over long-distance fiber optic networks.
New human study shows oral exposure does not create risk for high BPA exposure.
The next frontier in physics may require teeny-tiny answers to big questions, and vice versa.
Nanostructured surface textures—with shapes inspired by the structure of moths' eyes—prevent the reflection of light off silicon, improving conversion of sunlight to electricity.
University of Chicago scientists have experimentally observed for the first time a phenomenon in ultracold, three-atom molecules predicted by Russian theoretical physicist Vitaly Efimov in 1970.
UMass Amherst astronomer, part of international team, takes a close-up look at comet.
Hidden magnetic messages contained within ancient meteorites are providing a unique window into the processes that shaped our solar system, and may give a sneak preview of the fate of the Earth’s core as it continues to freeze.

Laser-generated surface structures create extremely water-repellent metals.
Mining for gold---in sewers? There's literally million of dollars worth of gold, silver and other precious metals found in sewage sludge, the gooey stuff left behind from treating sewage.
As the Earth warms and glaciers all over the world begin to melt, researchers and public policy experts have focused largely on how all of that extra water will contribute to sea level rise.
