Designing materials that steer light is a slow kind of trial and error. Each candidate structure must be tested in computer ...

Researchers in Sweden have developed a machine-learning approach that embeds the laws of physics directly into neural ...

Does it really take years of practice and dedication on the basketball court to compete with the talents of NBA players? Apparently not. All you need is some basic knowledge of physics, access to ...

For scientists, supernovae are true superstars — massive explosions of huge, dying stars that shine light on the shape and fate of the universe. For a brief burst of time, supernovae can radiate more ...

Scientists found that transfer learning can make the search for new physics in the universe much faster, slashing the need ...

Researchers at Leipzig University have developed a highly efficient method to investigate systems with long-range interactions that were previously puzzling to experts. These systems can be gases or ...

One of the most frequently asked questions about quantum computers is a simple one: When will they be useful? If you talk to people in the field, you’ll generally get a response in the form of another ...

More stable and efficient materials for solar cells are needed in the green transition. So-called halide perovskites are highlighted as a promising alternative to today's silicon materials.

In this episode of C&EN Uncovered, host Craig Bettenhausen speaks with C&EN assistant editor Ananya Palivela about recent advances in quantum computing. Ananya and Craig talk about the results of ...

Novatron was one of 30 private fusion initiatives to attend the Inaugural Private Sector Fusion Workshop, which was held from 27 to 29 May in Cadarache, France at the headquarters of the ITER ...

An illustration of the 2D perovskite material that was studied by the researchers. The yellow parts illustrate the linker molecules while the purple and pink parts show the perovskite layer. More ...
