For almost half a century, scientists have struggled with
plutonium contamination spreading further in groundwater than expected,
increasing the risk of sickness in humans and animals.
It was known...

If the Flintstones had electricity, their wires might have
been made of rock. New results in Science Express show that a chunk of hematite
can conduct electrons under certain chemical conditions. In addition, the
current...

X-rays have been used for decades to take pictures of broken bones, but
scientists at the U.S. Department of
Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory
and their collaborators have...

Standard microscopy and visible light imaging techniques cannot peer into the
dark and murky centers of dense-liquid jets, which has hindered scientists in
their quest for a full understanding of liquid breakup in devices such as
automobile...

Scientists have discovered that the magnetic strength of magnetite—the most
abundant magnetic mineral on Earth—declines drastically when put under
pressure. Researchers from the Carnegie...

Try as they might, ancient alchemists could never turn
lead into gold. Neither can the members of the Novel Materials group at the
U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory. But these physicists do have a way
with materials, and they can...

Although it was discovered more than 20 years ago, a particular type of
high-temperature (Tc) superconductor -- material that conducts electricity with
almost zero resistance -- is regaining the attention of scientists at the U.S....
