In the oceans and on land, scientists are discovering rare, transitional organisms that bridge the gap between Earth’s simplest cells and today’s complex ones.

A team led by Professor Jochen Feldmann at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich has directly watched a polaron, a quasiparticle formed when an electron distorts the surrounding crystal lattice, come ...

Researchers at TU Wien in Vienna have created a QR code so small it can only be read with an electron microscope. The code measures roughly 1.98 square micrometers, with individual pixels about 49 ...

The visualization revealed that virulence activation is achieved through the interaction of ToxR or TcpP with the ...

Scientists can now see a hidden battery ingredient — and it could supercharge how fast and how long lithium-ion batteries ...

Many technological applications, such as sensors and batteries, greatly rely on electrochemical reactions. Improving these technologies depends on understanding how electrochemical reactions work.

For the first time, researchers have shown that self-assembled phosphorus chains can host genuinely one-dimensional electron ...

When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells.

Scientists have a solid understanding of what makes up spindles — the cellular machinery that separates chromosomes — but are less certain about how the building blocks of spindles, called ...

What is connectomics? The field comprehensively mapping connections between synapses to reshape what we know about the brain.

Renewable energy solutions such as solar mini-grids and decentralized power systems offer promise, but their success depends on the availability of durable and efficient energy storage technologies.

A tiny algae recently discovered in India is helping to reconstruct how the oceans moved millions of years ago.
