Molecular biologists in the School of Medicine at The University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio have found a novel way to fine-tune the activity of cells' protein-disposing machinery, with ...

High-temperature solutions called fluxes are widely used to synthesize solid compounds. The composition and structural properties of reaction products in a two-component flux system can now be tuned ...

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. and BUFFALO, N.Y. — Helium, the second lightest element in the universe, has a variety of uses, from keeping balloons afloat to cooling superconducting magnets. It is also a noble ...

INTENSE ultrasonic waves are known to cause chemical effects in liquids and solutions similar to those caused by ionizing radiation. It is also well known that neutron-irradiated solid compounds can ...

For the first time, researchers have created a solid compound containing a beryllium-beryllium bond (Science 2023, DOI: 10.1126/science.adh4419). The compound is diberyllocene, in which each beryllium ...

Scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are exploring ways to use an inexpensive and layered superconductor compound to efficiently store hydrogen. They have already discovered the ...

Researchers have devised a fabrication technique for one of the most exciting 2D materials in recent years that may finally take the compound from a lab bench to a range of industrial applications.

Imagine looking through a fogged-up car window. You can see shapes and movement on the other side, but everything is blurry, the colors muted. Now imagine if that’s what the world looked like every ...

The US Environmental Protection Agency says it will look at five toxic compounds to see if they should be bumped to high-priority status under the Toxic Substances Control Act( TSCA). Environmental ...

Helium, the second-lightest element in the universe, has a variety of uses, from keeping balloons afloat to cooling superconducting magnets. It is also a noble gas — so labeled because it was long ...
