Miners drilling through limestone in Chihuahua, Mexico, broke into an extraordinary chamber in 2000 and found something that defied geological expectations: gypsum crystals taller than telephone poles ...

Until now, conventional 3D cell cultures have often been either too rigid or too unstable to realistically reproduce the ...

Reprieve from drought and a worsening water crisis in Colorado and the western U.S. may come from the clouds above. Yes, that ...

Zircon crystals have provided scientists with an invaluable tool for dating the Earth, revealing its true age to be around 4.54 billion years old.

Scientists discover that the Earth's magnetic poles can take up to 70,000 years to reverse, much longer than previously ...

The computer-generated "ideal glass" solves a 75-year-old physics paradox and promises revolutionary materials.

New research in orbital semiconductors, space-based metal 3D printing, and in-space recycling pushes production beyond and reveals lessons for advanced manufacturing on ...

Most space missions rely on chemical rockets for propulsion. Rockets must carry fuel, which increases spacecraft mass and limits their speed and travel distance. For decades, researchers have explored ...

Crystallized honey is the result of a naturally occurring process and is still completely safe to consume, but it’s not ...

A small business owner explains how a craft project with her mom turned into a company run alongside both of her parents.

Virtual apertures let researchers isolate and solve atomic structures from individual nanocrystals embedded in dense clusters, providing valuable new data for energy and pharmaceutical applications.

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a new way to determine atomic structures from nanocrystals previously considered unusable, ...
