Administrator Twisted laser light can tell mirror-image molecules apart Scientists have created twisted laser beams that interact differently with right-handed and left-handed molecules, revealing their identity through the fragments they produce. The approach could provi... materials science
Administrator Ultrafast X-rays capture chemistry unfolding atom by atom Ultrafast X-rays revealed how a molecule converts absorbed light into motion in just trillionths of a second. Individual atoms recorded different stages of the process, opening a powerful new window i... chemistry science
Administrator This new alloy is up to 10 times stronger than steel and surprisingly flexible Engineers have transformed a notoriously brittle cobalt-aluminum compound into a material that is both extremely strong and capable of bending without breaking. Their nanoscale design produced a yield... chemistry science
Administrator New process turns plastic waste into hydrogen fuel while trapping the carbon A new chemical process can transform three of the most common plastics into high-purity hydrogen without sorting them first. The technique operates at much lower temperatures than traditional gasifica... chemistry science

Administrator Type 2 diabetes physically changes the human heart, study finds Type 2 diabetes doesn’t just raise the risk of heart disease—it physically reshapes the heart itself. Researchers studying donated human hearts found that diabetes disrupts how heart cells produce ene... devices medical
Administrator A routine eye treatment is raising new concerns for glaucoma patients A new study warns that a widely used eye ointment can damage a popular glaucoma implant. Researchers found that oil-based ointments can be absorbed into the implant’s material, causing it to swell and... devices medical
Administrator New dark matter theory could solve multiple cosmic mysteries at once Dark matter may be far more complicated than scientists once believed. A new study suggests it could consist of at least two different kinds of particles that slowly separate over time, with heavier p... materials science
