Researchers can now more quickly identify which microbes produce mercury toxins in the environment.
Detailed genetic studies reveal an underground world of stunning microbial diversity and add dozens of new branches to the tree of life.
Scientists offer new insights into how the source of electrons, or cathode, fails.
Insights into how ancient marine organisms formed shells could improve climate model accuracy.
Scientists advance the precision controlled synthesis of gold nanocrystals, which could create new catalysts that improve industrial energy efficiency.
Study models soil-pore features that hold or release carbon dioxide.
A new process controllably but instantly consolidates ceramic parts, potentially important for manufacturing.
A new energy-efficient separation of rare earth elements could provide a new domestic source of critical materials.
Bombarding a material with high-energy charged atoms heals, rather than damages, the atomic structure, which could lead to longer-lasting components for extreme environments.
Water molecules can organize around protons from acids, influencing how the positive charge behaves in batteries, power plants, and waste sites.
Scientists found that removing lines of atoms in thin electronic materials creates “veins” that could benefit solar panels and more.
