Water quality monitoring provides measurable insight into the condition of aquatic systems”— Joel Chaky BATON ROUGE, ...

A fungus aboard the ISS extracted palladium from meteorite rock, hinting at future space mining powered by living microbes.

Chinese researchers have developed a lithium-organic battery prototype that withstands rigorous mechanical and thermal stress ...

Why Information, Not Matter, May Be the True Foundation of Reality - Rethinking Reality Through Physics, Information, ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward mimicking nature’s tiniest gateways by creating ultra-small pores that rival the dimensions of biological ion channels—just a few atoms wide. The breakthrough ...

Three cheap hygroscopic salt solutions on carbon nanotube sensors distinguish nine toxic gases, including warfare agents, without engineered receptor molecules.

Back to that body — or, well, what’s left of the body. The circumstances of what happened form part of the mystery of “56 Days,” particularly who the person was. That crime-solving-focused half of the ...

A newly developed catalyst that transforms nitrate-polluted water into ammonia has potential to be utilized in fertilizer creation, according to a recently published study co-authored by Department of ...

Ion channels are narrow passageways that play a pivotal role in many biological processes. To model how ions move through these tight spaces, pores need to be fabricated at very small length scales.

Innovations in imaging and genetic engineering are coming together to probe the biophysics of cytoplasm inside living animals.

Researchers shrink solid-state nanopores to sub-nm size via voltage-driven precipitation/dissolution, creating tunable pores that mimic ion channels for studying confined ion transport.
