A new path has opened toward manufacturing high-performance precious-metal catalysts capable of producing and utilizing ...

A dark point inside a beam of light should not be much of a traveler. Yet in a new experiment, some of those points appeared to move faster than light itself, darting through a wave field before ...

Hydrogels have long been valued for their elasticity, but their relatively low mechanical strength has limited applications ...

Metals possess the unique ability to trap and concentrate light into spaces much smaller than its wavelength through a ...

Can darkness really travel faster than light? A surprising new physics experiment suggests it can—at least in a very unusual way. Scientists observed dark regions within light waves moving faster than ...

It took two scientists decades to find a new nitrogen-fixing organelle. It could change the future of sustainable agriculture ...
