The breakthrough could make renewable hydrogen fuel cheaper, more efficient... materials science
Administrator Scientists “bottle the sun” with a liquid battery that stores solar energy Scientists at UC Santa Barbara have created a remarkable new material that works like a “rechargeable solar battery,” storing sunlight inside tiny molecules and releasing it later as heat — even long ... materials science
Administrator Scientists put a tiny lump of metal in two places at once in record-breaking quantum experiment Scientists have pulled off a mind-bending quantum experiment that sounds almost impossible: they showed that tiny metal particles made of thousands of atoms can exist in multiple places at once. Using... materials science
Administrator Scientists make stunning discovery that could change our understanding of the Universe Scientists may have uncovered a surprising secret behind why life exists at all. A new study suggests that the Universe’s fundamental constants — the deep physical rules that govern everything from at... materials science
Administrator “Cannot be explained” – New ultra stainless steel stuns researchers A team at the University of Hong Kong has developed a new “super steel” that can survive the harsh conditions needed to make green hydrogen from seawater. The material uses an unexpected double-protec... materials science
