The atoms that make us up couldn’t be shrunk or smashed closer together — at least, not without catastrophic consequences.
The number of neutrons and electrons can vary in atoms of the same element. The number of protons alone sets each of these substances apart.
Made from white flour and formic acid, the nanofibers average just 370 nanometers across. That’s two-hundredths the thickness of a human hair.
Make your own ‘voltaic pile’ with pennies and nickels, and find out how many coins will make the most electricity!
Supercomputing and AI cut the early discovery steps from decades to just 80 hours. The process led to a new solid electrolyte.
Models are representations of real-life systems or processes that we use to ask questions, make predictions and test our knowledge.
It can slash diffuse sources of this extremely potent greenhouse gas, such as from livestock barns and other sites.
Scientists made a device that converts the greenhouse gas into formate. This salt can then run a fuel cell to make electricity.
To slow global warming, we’ll need help from CO2-trapping materials. Enter MXenes. They’re strong and reactive — and they love to eat up CO2.
