Weak forces are strong enough to align semiconductor nanoparticles; new understanding may help make more useful materials

Scientists explain why some molecules spontaneously arrange themselves into five slices of nanoscale pie

Postdoc Bharat Gwalani’s pioneering spirit crosses several scientific disciplines and he climbs mountains too

New PNNL research shows that a pairing of humble minerals outshines other reactive materials when it comes to producing hydrogen.

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories have joined forces to reduce costs and improve the reliability of hydrogen fueling stations.

Researchers have come up with a new method for creating synthetic “colored” nanodiamonds, a step on the path to realization of quantum computing, which promises to solve problems far beyond the abilities of current supercomputers.

Many industries are increasingly looking at hydrogen as a relatively new but efficient, clean, and quiet power source.

A recent study pinpointed the reaction front where lithium (Li) dendrites can come into contact with cathode materials. It also detailed the Li propagation pathway and reaction steps that lead to cathode failure.

Imagine a hollow tube thousands of times smaller than a human hair. Now envision filthy water flowing through an array of such tubes, each designed to capture contaminants on the inside, with clean water emerging at the other end.

New spin makes lightweight magnesium auto parts more useful.

For the first time, researchers have been able to see what makes this titanium alloy so strong – and then make it stronger.
