A new approach is able to create a dramatic improvement in
cheap solar cells now being developed in laboratories. By using a popcorn-ball
design -- tiny kernels clumped into much larger porous spheres -- researchers at
the...

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...

Contrary to expectations for a small icy body, much of the comet dust
returned by the Stardust mission formed very close to the young sun and was
altered from the solar system’s early materials.
When the Stardust mission returned to...
