Through new experiments, researchers in Japan and Germany have recreated the chemical conditions found in the subsurface ...

Chirality—often described as "handedness"—is a fundamental property of nature, underlying the behavior of molecules ranging ...

An international research team has developed a new two-dimensional perovskite interlayer based on a co-crystal engineering strategy for more robust perovskite films. It demonstrated improved ...

Polar bears are particularly vulnerable to climate change, as they rely on sea ice to hunt seals. A new study analyzed a small subpopulation of polar bears in southeastern Greenland and found small ...

It is now likely that the coldest period of sustained cold weather is behind us after gripping the Eastern U.S. for the first part of December. Warmer temperatures are expected for Christmas and into ...

If you’ve ever wondered why winter sometimes flips from mild to brutally cold, the answer might be hiding 20 miles above your head. That’s where a rare atmospheric phenomenon called sudden ...

Electronegativity is the measure of an atom's ability to attract shared electrons in a chemical bond. Linus Pauling developed the electronegativity scale, where fluorine (F) is the most ...

Saturn’s moon Titan has always been a bit of a mystery. It’s cold – around -290°F – and its surface is covered in lakes and rivers of liquid methane and ethane instead of water. Titan has wind, rain, ...
