On the far right side of the periodic table, just beneath oxygen, sits a lesser-known group of elements called the chalcogens, or “ore-forming” elements. While sulfur is widely recognized for its role ...

A breakthrough experiment has shed new light on one of astrophysics’ biggest mysteries: the origin of rare proton-rich elements. For the first time, scientists directly measured a key reaction that ...

Researchers have discovered evidence that superconductivity can be controlled by influencing the surrounding environment, a ...

Compleximers”—materials that can be molded like window glass but that resist impacts like plastic does—shouldn’t exist, ...

For decades scientists have thought, based on experimental observations, that the lower a glassy material’s melting rate, the ...

Mirror image crystals of poly(lactic acid) act as reversible crosslinks in a phase change material, delivering high latent heat, strong mechanics, and full recyclability at once.

In sterile barrier packaging, failure rarely announces itself clearly. It appears as an intermittent tear instead of a clean ...

A video shared on TikTok captured a medical student advising science students writing JAMB on the topics to never overlook.

Beyond the rather low efficiency of today’s solar panels in converting the power of the sun into electricity, the ...

So the waste problem in 3D printing is really a chemistry problem. Once these materials harden, they’re locked into their ...

A laser reshapes paper at the molecular level, creating bonds strong enough to hold 20 kg—without a drop of glue.
