A Nobel Laureate who co-created graphene has made another discovery that could turbocharge numerous futuristic applications, from smart contact lenses to rapid disease detection. Konstantin ...

Scientists have found that a "superatomic" material is the fastest and most efficient semiconductor ever. Taking advantage of a tortoise-and-hare mechanism, the new material can transport energy much faster than silicon.

Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia blasted the Biden administration, efforts to ban gas stoves and the push for electric vehicles was "crazy."

Scientists from Skoltech, Moscow Pedagogical State University, and other research centers have discovered a new class of defects in diamond that may be of use for quantum information processing and precise and remote temperature measurements within very small objects, such as living cells. The findings are reported in a letter published in Physical Review B.

In chemistry, we have He, Fe and Ca—but what about do, re and mi? Hauntingly beautiful melodies aren't the first things that come to mind when looking at the periodic table of the elements. However, using a technique called data sonification, a recent college graduate has converted the visible light given off by the elements into audio, creating unique, complex sounds for each one. Today, the researcher reports the…

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said Friday that China was an exemplar of climate policy while speaking at the South by Southwest festival.

A researcher in NDSU's Center for Computationally Assisted Science and Technology and the Department of Physics has uncovered what makes a prominent paint glow in the dark for hours. The findings are reported in a paper titled "Defects and persistent luminescence in Eu-doped SrAl2O4," published in the journal Physical Review Applied.

In sedimentary basins, the evolution of hydrocarbon including oil/gas generation, migration, and accumulation, as well as reservoir destruction, is often controlled by regional tectonic activities.

The Environmental Protection Agency moved to block the Pebble Mine in Alaska on Tuesday, preventing mining waste discharges into the Bristol Bay watershed.

Water is transported by oceanic plates into the Earth's deep interior and changes the properties of minerals and rocks, affecting the Earth's internal material cycle and environmental evolution since the formation of the Earth.

See all the 2.8 billion tonnes of metals mined in 2021.

Russia's foreign ministry says Tokyo failed to make payments under deal giving Japan fishing rights near Kuril islands.

As radioactive atoms are transported through groundwater aquifers in the form of gaseous radon, they are eventually transferred to the atmosphere. Measurements of the rate of this transfer can, in theory, be used to trace the infiltration of water into the surrounding soil. Yet a new study shows that this technique could have a significant flaw.

Researchers discovered ballistic flow in a quantum material that could help overcome semiconductor shortcomings.

A new generation of refractory alloys with excellent high-temperature performance is urgently demanded for aero-engines, gas turbines, and nuclear power plants. As the service temperature of their hot-ends is reaching 1800 °C or even higher, traditional superalloys can hardly fulfill the temperature demands. Mainly composed of refractory metal elements, refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) exhibit enhanced…

Larry Kudlow predicted that President Joe Biden's push for electric trucks would increase costs for consumers by wrecking small trucking companies.

Republican Rep. Bill Johnson grilled Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm over the Department of Defense's push for electric vehicles by 2030.

"Shark Tank" star Kevin O'Leary ripped the Department of Defense's (DOD) plan to implement an "all-electric fleet" Thursday, saying "it's not going to work."
