Science Highlights
A New World Discovered Underground
Detailed genetic studies reveal an underground world of stunning microbial diversity and add dozens of new branches to the tree of life.
Extending the Life of Lithium-Ion Batteries
Scientists offer new insights into how the source of electrons, or cathode, fails.
Seashell Formation Provides Understanding of Historic Oceanographic Conditions
Insights into how ancient marine organisms formed shells could improve climate model accuracy.
Light Strikes Gold
Scientists advance the precision controlled synthesis of gold nanocrystals, which could create new catalysts that improve industrial energy efficiency.
How Moisture Affects the Way Soil Microbes Breathe
Study models soil-pore features that hold or release carbon dioxide.
Ion–Electron Collisions Can Heal Material Defects
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.
Surrounded by Water
Water molecules can organize around protons from acids, influencing how the positive charge behaves in batteries, power plants, and waste sites.
New Properties Discovered in Atom-Wide Troughs
Scientists found that removing lines of atoms in thin electronic materials creates “veins” that could benefit solar panels and more.
Spinning the (X-ray) Light Fantastic
Delta undulator provides researchers with a new tool to probe chiral materials with widespread utility in agriculture and pharmaceuticals.
Translating Basic Biological Research to Cancer Drug Discovery
Discovery of promising next-generation inhibitors for metastatic melanoma treatment done with help from x-ray crystallography.
How to Convince Molecules to Self-Assemble into Precise Hollow Nanotubes
Scientists reveal another design principle for building nanostructures in soft matter, valuable for batteries, water purification, and more.
