Oil and mineral companies, climatologists and geophysicists all rely on expensive satellites to measure the Earth's magnetic field, but there may be a cheaper option. A physicist proposes shining a ...

In the search for superconductors, finding ways to compress hydrogen into a metal has been a point of focus ever since scientists predicted many years ago that electricity would flow, uninhibited, ...

In a world first, researchers have recorded exactly how solvents interact with dissolved materials, one atom at a time. After a solute, such as salt, dissolves in a solvent, such as water, the two ...
