Water’s Weirdness Explained

What makes water so unique? Japan - In their 2018 study, researchers from the Department of Fundamental Engineering at the University of Tokyo tried to tease apart what makes water unique among liquids.

Twisted Graphene is Science’s Hottest New Topic

Atom-sized superconductors discovered with a simple angle adjustment. Just a year ago, scientists presented results that seemed almost too good to be true: Carbon sheets only a single atom thick, called graphene, took on a pair of important physical properties when they were twisted at just the right "magic" angle relative to one another.

A Liquid Metal with T-1000-like Properties Has Been Created

Chinese researchers create a new metal composite that can be manipulated by magnets. Researchers in China have created a Terminator-like liquid metal that has the ability to stretch horizontally and vertically, as well as change shapes.

Obtaining Water From Thin Air

Everything from Nothing Did you know that palatable water can be collected from thin air? No, it's not magic, it's science! Everyday, people all over the world search for new ways to maximize renewable resources, and pulling water from seemingly nothing is one of the groundbreaking methods we have come up with.

Chemistry breakhrough: capturing carbon dioxide for keeps

Carbon dioxide has a new process of converting it into coal Scientists from RMIT University have discovered an economically viable process of converting carbon dioxide into solid coal through liquid metals.

Are Snowflakes Really Uniquely Patterned? Know How These Tiny Ice Crystals Are Formed

Can a snowflake have a twin? How do they really form their unique shapes? Find the answers here. A research from turfs University unleashed a new perspective on the beyond the 400-year-old question of the world famous mathematician and scientist Johannes Kepler, how are snowflakes really formed? Kepler has only speculated about the hexagonal shape and the microscopic building blocks of this crystal ice, including the factors behind this phenomenon.

Scientists Created New Photoluminescent Compounds That Can Glow In Dark

From children toys to scientific research elements photoluminescent aka the 'glow in the dark' have a huge application. To compensate the growing demand, scientists from Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University(OIST) found an alternative process to produce photoluminescent chemicals

New Horizons Data Provide More Details About Pluto

The New Horizons team presented details of Pluto from data returned by the spacecraft. The New Horizons ground team has discussed new details about Pluto's geological process, composition and hazes at the meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco.

Will the Next Gold Rush Be in the Sewers?

Gold Rush in the Sewers? You may have seen headlines about extracting gold from your poop. That's not technically true but the reality is still pretty amazing.

Solvent Baths Promise Better Perovskite Crystals and Better Solar Energy

With the coming of spring, and the looming global warming ever at our odds, it’s clear that there’s enough heat already out in the world. So why would you want your “green” energy practices to contribute ever more to that heat? Current methods, for example, in the production of solar cells used to capture energy require an intense recrystallization process that comes at the price of a drastic raise in the temperature of the substance—perovskite. But now, thanks to chemists at Brown University, the green energy movement may soon be equated with a cooler movement, as well.
