Many heavy atomic nuclei are shaped more or less like squashed rugby balls than fully inflated ones, according to a ...

What makes some plastics stick to metal without any glue? Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have peered into the ...

Scientists used molecular simulations to reveal how polymer chains adhere to alumina surfaces. Adhesion depends on both polymer chemistry and surface termination, with different responses before and ...

Following the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry recognizing the monumental impact of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), the spotlight has officially shifted to mastering the rational design and engineering ...

Scientists have developed a new way to build rare-earth crystals that boosts quantum coherence to tens of milliseconds. This leap could extend quantum communication distances from city blocks to ...

The history of aviation is wild. The world went from the first powered flight in 1903 to the Moon just 66 years later. We can ...

Quantum computers can perform certain calculations at remarkable speeds, yet connecting them over long distances has been one of the major obstacles ...

Superconductivity occurs when electrons pair up, rather than scattering apart as they do in normal conductors or in everyday ...

A tool called AI-Newton can derive scientific laws from raw data, but is some way from developing human-like reasoning.
