A flash of light traps this material in an excited state indefinitely, and new experiments reveal how it happens.

Using a novel surface-sensitive spectroscopy method, scientists explored atomic vibrations in crystalline material surfaces near interfaces. The findings illuminate quantum behaviors that play ...

Rather than petri dishes or microscopes, in Brie Tripp’s lab you’ll find diverse undergrads gathered around laptops, carrying ...

Researchers have announced results from a new search at the European X-ray Free Electron Laser (European XFEL) Facility at ...

Sweeping layoffs, funding freezes and executive orders have provoked outcry among federal researchers and their university partners, who fear that science itself is under siege.

High-pressure experiments generated the first direct observation of plastic ice, which has qualities of both crystalline ice and liquid water.

Plastic that conducts electricity might sound impossible. But there is a special class of materials known as "electronic ...

Atomic clocks are more accurate than those used to define the second, suggesting the definition might need to change ...
