Ions at the edge of water, exposed to air, don’t separate like they do when surrounded by water, offering insights for desalination and corrosion.
Researchers link root water uptake to root traits and assess (poor) performance of common models.
A novel experimental geometry at the Linac Coherent Light Source reveals, for the first time, how silicon responds to shocks similar to those in a planet’s core.
The two most abundant elements in the universe, hydrogen and helium, were previously thought to be impossible to measure by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

The 3.7-billion-year-old structures were considered the first evidence for life on the planet; new evidence suggests differently.
Scientists use implanted silicon ions and electricity to increase the spin time of quantum bits, moving closer to the tech needed for quantum networks.
Molybdenum-based complex harvests light to make inert nitrogen gas reactive to potentially become part of fertilizer.
Optimized oxides made from common metals use less energy and show the potential of new design approach.
Scientists catch details with atomic resolution, potentially helping design systems to use sunlight and water to produce fuels.
