Metamaterials are engineered to exhibit unusual properties, such as band gaps that block mechanical vibrations of certain frequencies. While these properties can be tuned, adjusting and maintaining a ...

Precision horticulture, using technology to optimize crop production, has grown in recent years. To help farmers improve crop resilience and reduce losses caused by environmental stress, researchers ...

Human ears detect pressure fluctuations, which are translated into electric signals and then interpreted as sound. Most animals, however, respond to the motion of the surrounding medium in a sound ...

The "little red dot" CAPERS-LRD-z9 is the most distant object to show the characteristic broad emission lines of fast-moving gas around a black hole.

A new device can freely and efficiently change the frequency of microwave signals, enabling communication between otherwise incompatible quantum systems.

The first mention of the Espenschied Collection I was able to find was in the October 1964 issue of our library’s newsletter, which described the donation to AIP’s Niels Bohr Library (as it was then ...

Wrinkles are generally thought of as a bad thing — in clothes, in fabrics, and even in science. In biology, wrinkly biofilms can disrupt surgeries, water pipes, and ship hulls, and they are ...

The AI Action Plan released last week pushes science agencies to expand researcher access to high-quality scientific data and AI resources.

Using a combination of slurry and gas-phase silicon evaporation methods, researchers have developed a high-density protective ceramic coating.

Graphene is one of the most promising materials of the 21st century, but obtaining enough of it can be challenging. This is especially true for research into the electronic properties of graphene, ...

(Inside Science) -- People in Egypt’s western desert are drinking groundwater with naturally high levels of radium, a radioactive element, according to research presented last week at the American ...
