A telescope survey more than a decade in the making has produced what its builders call the largest two-dimensional picture ...

Hydrogen is considered an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional fossil fuels. Until now, expensive and rare substances such as platinum have been needed for its catalytic production, ...

Phase transformations—in which a material changes from one crystal structure to another, thereby acquiring dramatically different properties—are ubiquitous in nature. Understanding the microscopic ...

Engineers have developed a record-setting nanomaterial which when stretched in one direction, expands perpendicular to the applied force. It is a common hack to stretch a balloon out to make it easier ...

Nanostructured two-dimensional gold monolayers offer possibilities in catalysis, electronics, and nanotechnology. Nanostructured two-dimensional gold monolayers offer possibilities in catalysis, ...

We all know we live in three-dimensional space. But what does it mean when people talk about four dimensions? Is it just a bigger kind of space? Is it “space-time”, the popular idea which emerged from ...
