Scientists have known that hot water freezes faster than cold water, since the time of Aristotle in Ancient Greece. However, until now they have struggled to explain why. A team of scientists in ...

Shining light on a water droplet creates effects analogous to what happens in an atom. This can help us understand how atoms work, write researchers. Shining light on a water droplet creates effects ...

(Nanowerk News) How to analyse ice down to its atomic scale? And how to analyse objects embedded in ice without melting it? An international team of material scientists mainly from the ...

The search for sustainable approaches to generating new fuels has brought scientists back to one of the most abundant materials on Earth — reddish iron oxide in the form of hematite, also known as ...

An easy-to-prepare catalyst consisting of isolated metal atoms embedded at various points across functionalized graphene sheets can carry out a key step in water splitting, according to a study (Nat.

At the surface, only over 2% of its atoms are exposed. Contrarily, palladium costs just 17 cents to occupy a region larger than 50 football fields in the single-atom form. With 100% atom exposure at ...
