These newly discovered spinning crystals twist, break, and heal themselves, revealing a strange new side of solid matter.

A new three-way bond-breaking and making mechanism makes the synthesis of five-membered rings easier than before.

Biological processes that govern our lives are many, intertwined, and often difficult to understand. They involve countless ...

Today’s leading technologies aren’t very future-friendly, at least from an environmental standpoint. According to recent ...

Abstract: Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is recognized as piv otal technological component in the utilization of hydrogen energy, drawing extensive interest due to their high efficiency, low emissions, ...

While quantum entanglement mimicks the first law of thermodynamics in terms of entropy in a system, scientists wonder if the second law—especially the part about reversibility—could hold true. A new ...

Just over 200 years after French engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot formulated the second law of thermodynamics, an international team of researchers has unveiled an analogous law for the quantum ...

A study links graying hair to stem cells getting stuck, unable to color new hair growth. Stem cells travel back and forth within compartments, but when they get stuck in one compartment, they cannot ...

We study a process of heat transfer between a body of heat capacity C(T) and a sequence of N heat reservoirs, with temperatures equally spaced between an initial temperature T0 and a final temperature ...

Billy Joel revealed he was recently diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), a rare, but reversible type of dementia. The statement notes that performing worsened some of the 76-year-old ...

The bacteria that cause tuberculosis (TB) may have an "on-off switch" that lets them pause and restart growth, according to a new study from the University of Surrey and the University of Oxford. The ...
