Al 2 O 3 (aluminum oxide) is especially well-studied as an ALD material and has been shown to offer excellent chemical ...

On the ISS, viruses can still infect bacteria, but the process slows and pushes both organisms to evolve along different paths ...

DOE’s Oak Ridge clean-up team is preparing Y-12’s Old Steam Plant for demolition ahead of schedule, clearing space for ...

The stakes of the “race to fusion” are dramatic. Commercial fusion has the potential to deliver nearly unlimited energy by ...

A biomimetic synapse built from water droplets and biological ion channels achieves synaptic plasticity and performs machine learning tasks.

A team led by Professor Jochen Feldmann at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich has directly watched a polaron, a quasiparticle formed when an electron distorts the surrounding crystal lattice, come ...

In this interview, Dr. Marsh Durban explores how innovations such as controlled seeding and size‑selection are enabling researchers to generate uniform, assay‑ready organoids at scale.

Quantum timekeeping has reached a new threshold, with trapped-ion clocks now accurate to the 19th decimal place and a ...

A new spatial transcriptomic technology captures RNA patterns without requiring expensive imaging ...

Evidence from long-term trial data and climate modelling shows that warmer summers, wetter winters and more extreme weather ...

Innovations in imaging and genetic engineering are coming together to probe the biophysics of cytoplasm inside living animals.

Ultimately, the gel-first hypothesis does not claim to provide a definitive answer to the origin of life. Rather, it offers a conceptual framework—one that integrates soft-matter physics, systems ...
