Researchers made naodots from a metallic compound, molybdenum oxide, that can kill cancer cells while leaving healthy cells largely unharmed. While this work is still at the cell-culture stage – it ...

Unlike optical microscopy, SEM does not rely on light waves but instead uses a beam of electrons to interact with materials, enabling magnifications up to 300,000× and resolutions approaching 1 nm. 1 ...

Scientists have, for the first time, successfully studied liquid carbon in the lab by combining a powerful high-performance laser with the European XFEL x-ray laser. The experiment captured fleeting ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story. Carbon fiber is a brilliant high-performance material with excellent strength-to-weight properties, but it remains expensive and impractical to ...

Achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 will require removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the world’s foremost authority ...
