Current electrochemical theory does not adequately describe realistic platinum electrodes. Scientists at Leiden University have now, for the first time, mapped the influence of imperfect platinum ...

The race to build reliable quantum computers is fraught with obstacles, and one of the most difficult to overcome is related ...

Explore the foundations of electromagnetism with a deep dive into Maxwell’s Equations and the wave equation! This video breaks down these fundamental physics concepts, showing how electric and ...

Sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) are gaining traction as a next-generation technology to complement the widely used lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). NIBs offer clear advantages versus LIBs in terms of ...

UNIDENTIFIED ANNOUNCER: Back to Maye, who throws it down the field. It's caught. KWONG: And this pass - the spiral pass - has actually baffled physicists for decades, including Regina Barber, my ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though quantum physics says their exact position is fundamentally uncertain. Now, ...

Federal officials seized 3,000 copies of Scientific American in 1950 in a “red scare” era of attacks on science. The move backfired and offers lessons for today ...

The author, who lived in Iran for many years and is married to an Italian-born Iranian, weaves a rich patchwork of everyman human experience. Aptly subtitled “Memoir”, de Bellaigue’s book pieces ...
