Have you ever seen a hibiscus flower? Although its petals have a range of colors, what makes the trumpet-shaped flower more ...

Scientists can now see a hidden battery ingredient — and it could supercharge how fast and how long lithium-ion batteries ...

Researchers at the University of Oxford have developed a powerful new method to visualize an essential lithium-ion battery electrode component that had been extremely difficult to trace before. The ...

Physicists artificially slowed down time to reveal the bizarre Terrell-Penrose effect, a consequence of special relativity. This image from the experiment shows a sphere seemingly moving at 99.9 ...

A new staining technique makes invisible polymer binders in Li-ion battery electrodes traceable, enabling better placement control to boost battery performance.

You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light shining at it: Optical light illuminates a material's surface, while X-rays reveal its internal structures and infrared captures a ...

Researchers at TU Wien in Vienna have created a QR code so small it can only be read with an electron microscope. The code measures roughly 1.98 square micrometers, with individual pixels about 49 ...

Scientists have a solid understanding of what makes up spindles — the cellular machinery that separates chromosomes — but are less certain about how the building blocks of spindles, called ...

Visuals can be deceiving, with fake scientific images spreading rapidly online. While some image editing enhances understanding, deliberate falsification undermines research credibility. True ...

Experiments reveal that unsaturated lipid membranes promote vesicle fusion and DNA retention during freeze–thaw cycles, highlighting icy environments as potential drivers of protocell evolution. Today ...

The study introduces an atomic single electron transistor that maps the electrostatic potential in a moiré unit cell, enhancing understanding of vdW materials.
