By changing the physical structure of gold at the nanoscale, researchers can drastically change how the material interacts with light and, as a result, its electronic and optical properties.

Scientists recreate the early universe to study the first liquid ever formed and uncover how quarks moved through primordial matter.

Using the world's most powerful particle accelerator, CERN's Large Hadron Collider, scientists have discovered that the trillion-degree hot primordial "soup" that filled the cosmos for mere millionths ...

Scientists have demonstrated that light alone can reversibly control magnetism in a topological material. Researchers at the ...

A team of scientists has replicated one of Thomas Edison's early experiments from his quest to make the lightbulb, but with ...

To reproduce what Thomas Edison did, with the tools and knowledge we have now, is very exciting,” said co-author James Tour, ...

A nanostructure made of silver and an atomically thin semiconductor layer can be turned into an ultrafast switching mirror ...

James is a published author with multiple pop-history and science books to his name. He specializes in history, space, strange science, and anything out of the ordinary.View full profile James is a ...

New experiments at CERN by an international team have ruled out a potential source of intergalactic magnetic fields. The existence of such fields is invoked to explain why we do not observe secondary ...
