An experimental setup mimics a “black hole bomb” first theorized in 1971. The spinning cylinder with circuitry is true to the original idea, showing that it can be plausible. Electrical waves spin off ...

Inside the microchips powering your devices, atoms aren’t just randomly scattered. They follow a hidden order that can change how semiconductors behave. A team of researchers from the Lawrence ...

Scientists have decoded the atomic-level secrets behind catalysts that turn propane into propylene. Their algorithms reveal unexpected oxide behavior that stabilizes the catalytic reaction by ...

Scientists at Delft University of Technology have managed to watch a single atomic nucleus flip its magnetic state in real time. Using a scanning tunneling microscope, they indirectly read the nucleus ...
