Zirconium helps to weave entangled nanocarbon cages in high yields

A new approach uses low-cost, scalable, transparent and infrared-reflective surfaces and hydronic panels.

In 2024, researchers transformed readings of an epic upheaval of Earth’s magnetic field flipping 41,000 years ago into an eerie, auditory experience.

Now a team containing some of those same scientists has sonified an even earlier flip, from epochs ago.

The resulting cacophony is an unnerving translation of geological data on the Matuyama-Brunhes reversal, a switching of the planet’s magnetic poles that took place roughly 780,000 years ago.

Researchers have designed a working prototype of a lithium metal battery equipped with a built-in fire extinguisher, which is activated if the battery overheats.

Wageningen University is seeking commercial partners interested in developing plant varieties having enhanced resistance to parasitic weeds and/or other methods to control them.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) U.S. has set a new world record for the most accurate aluminum ion-based optical atomic clock.

This clock sets a new time-keeping benchmark, accurately measuring a second down to its 19th decimal place. That’s a major leap, making it 41% more accurate and 2.6 times more stable than the former record holder.

The aluminum ion clock’s accuracy record stems from two decades of persistent refinement.
