Tariffs are just one tool of a multi-domain economic war, former U.S. sanctions official Eddie Fishman says

The Biden administration has expanded sanctions to prevent China extending its AI capabilities – now, China is going after Nvidia

China escalated U.S. trade tensions with a ban on exports of gallium and germanium, key materials for computer chips.

/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The June 2024 completion of the $5.3 million Populatic Water Treatment Plant in Medway, Massachusetts (USA), now ensures a sufficient...

Do Solar Panels ever get a second chance?

China imposed stringent export controls on two critical semiconductor materials, germanium and gallium, in 2023, a move that has since rippled through global markets. These materials are...

After escaping the Nazis and surviving internment camps, Josef Eisinger, PhD '51, went on to an impressive scientific career—and, perhaps just as important, a joyful life.

Robert Gilliard, MIT associate professor of chemistry, embraces an expansive style of research, mixing different approaches and drawing from a variety of areas of expertise, including organic and inorganic chemistry.

The molten calcium-antimony design promises low cost and long life

Cornell researchers have used magnetic imaging to obtain the first direct visualization of how electrons flow in a special type of insulator, and by doing so they discovered that the transport current moves through the interior of the material, rather than at the edges, as scientists had long assumed.

A new paper published in Energy Material Advances explores Eu3+-Bi3+ codoping double perovskites for single-component white-light-emitting diodes.

Using a new detection method, UC Riverside scientists found a massive amount of methane, a super-potent greenhouse gas, coming from wildfires—a source not currently being accounted for by state air quality managers.

These two researchers journey toward the center of Earth—via windows to the crust—to find bacteria that can breathe iron, arsenic and other metals that would kill us pretty quickly.

Researchers at Paderborn University have succeeded in producing very special catalysts, known as "Lewis superacids," which can be used to break strong chemical bonds and speed up reactions. The production of these substances has, until now, proven extremely difficult.

For the first time, researchers have recorded live and in atomic detail what happens to the material in an asteroid impact. The team of Falko Langenhorst from the University of Jena and Hanns-Peter Liermann from DESY simulated an asteroid impact with the mineral quartz in the lab and pursued it in slow motion in a diamond anvil cell, while monitoring it with DESY's X-ray source PETRA III.

For millions of years, nature has basically been getting by with just a few elements from the periodic table. Carbon, calcium, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus, silicon, sulfur, magnesium and potassium are the building blocks of almost all life on our planet (tree trunks, leaves, hairs, teeth, etc). However, to build the world of humans—including cities, health care products, railways, airplanes and their…

The largest saline lake in North America is on track to collapse within five years, a new report finds

Scientists say excessive water use is to blame, with 74% of diverted lakewater being used for unsustainable agricultural practices
