Researchers at the University of Birmingham have developed a new method for the rapid, scalable preparation of uniform nanostructures directly from block polymers.
More than 3 billion years ago, Mars intermittently had liquid water on its surface. After the planet lost much of its atmosphere, however, surface water could no longer persist. The fate of Mars's water—whether it was buried ...
Following a successful launch in the early hours of Wednesday morning (12 March 2025) U.K. time, the PUNCH spacecraft are poised to begin their two-year mission to study the sun's outer atmosphere and its transformation into ...
Critical minerals such as lithium, cobalt and copper are essential for an energy transition away from fossil fuels—but America's perception of their importance isn't fully understood, which can slow progress.
Producing clean hydrogen energy usually involves the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which has the unfortunate drawback of being sluggish and inefficient. Catalysts can fast-track this process, but it is no easy task finding ...
Oxygen is essential for life and a reactive player in many chemical processes. Accordingly, methods that accurately measure oxygen are relevant for numerous industrial and medical applications: They analyze exhaust gases ...
Ukraine's minerals have become central to global geopolitics, with the US president, Donald Trump, seeking a deal with Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky to access them. But what are these minerals exactly and why are ...
An interdisciplinary team affiliated with a host of institutions across China, working with one colleague from Singapore and another from MIT, has found evidence suggesting that if solar panels could be installed on every ...
In 2015, astrophysicists discovered a system consisting of two compact stars orbiting each other: a pulsar (i.e., a highly magnetized rapidly rotating, light-emitting neutron star) and a so-called companion star. The companion ...
Rotating black holes are the most powerful phenomenon in the known universe. Their powerful gravity radically alters the curvature of spacetime around them, leading to relativistic effects like time dilation, light distortion, ...
