Solid-state batteries could be safer and more energy-dense than today’s lithium-ion technology, but finding materials that allow ions to move quickly through solid electrolytes has been difficult.

A meteorite that fell in Germany in 1724 contains a form of silica that conducts heat in a stable manner and baffles physicists.

Solid rocket motors—and the chemicals that fuel them—are a major limitation on America’s missile stockpiles, and one that ...

Scientists discover that giant columns of softer ice within the Greenland ice sheet behave like pasta boiling, due to ...

Penn State researchers found that lightning-like discharges may occur inside materials such as glass and quartz, potentially ...

An international team of scientists from IBM, The University of Manchester, Oxford University, ETH Zurich, EPFL and the University of Regensburg have created and characterized a molecule unlike any ...

The original story “ Physicists build a quantum Newton’s cradle where energy flows without resistance ” is published in The ...

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

NbRe may be a long-sought triplet superconductor, offering zero-resistance spin transport and major advances in quantum computing.

Preserving quantum information is key to developing useful quantum computing systems. But interacting quantum systems are chaotic and follow laws of thermodynamics, eventually leading to information ...

For over a decade, confusion over the size of the proton has held scientists back. Disagreeing measurements of the subatomic particle’s radius meant that scientists couldn’t test one of their key ...
