Fleeting electron-hole pairs are giving scientists a new window into optimizing light-emitting devices (LEDs). Using quantum ...

The fluid-handling bioprocessing surfaces that successfully repel microliter droplets aren’t as effective for nano- and picoliter droplets. Because those smaller droplets are more sensitive to ...

For the first time, speech has been decoupled from consequence. We now live alongside AI systems that converse knowledgeably and persuasively—deploying claims about the world, explanations, advice, ...

Hello, my fellow digital marketers! This study was born out of a question that gave me a combination of irritation and renewed curiosity: “If I turned off all paid media, would my business actually ...

The Sun unleashes a torrent of charged particles. Some of them slam into the Earth’s atmosphere, triggering breathtaking auroras in the night sky. But for equipment that’s orbiting our planet in outer ...

Cosmic rays are extremely fast, charged particles that travel through space at nearly the speed of light. The Amaterasu particle was detected in 2021 by the Telescope Array experiment in the U.S. It ...

The DNA-based vaccine induces antibodies to the HIV antigen (blue) without eliciting antibodies to the DNA particle (gray), whereas the protein-based vaccine generates antibodies to both the HIV ...

In July 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe triumphantly announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, the long-sought linchpin of the subatomic world. Interacting with Higgs ...

Preventing global ecosystem collapse requires the 1 specific chemical process performed by marine bacteria. Over 20,000 species of marine worms fail to achieve true decomposition without external ...

Decomposition is essential to all ecosystems, both on land and in the ocean. In marine environments, decomposition and nutrient recycling keep food webs functioning, prevent the buildup of organic ...
