MIT physicists have taken a key step toward solving the puzzle of what leads electrons to split into fractions of themselves. Their solution sheds light on the conditions that give rise to exotic electronic states in graphene and other two-dimensional systems.
The new work is an effort to make sense of a discovery that was reported earlier this year by a different group of physicists at MI

Etched onto small clay cylinders, researchers from Johns Hopkins University have uncovered what could be the earliest known alphabetic writing in human history. The artifacts, excavated from a tomb in Syria, date back to around 2400 BCE - approximately 500 years earlier than previously identified alphabetic scripts.
The discovery challenges existing theories about the origins and spread of

Groundbreaking work at the University of Birmingham has provided a comprehensive theory that accurately defines the shape of a single photon for the first time, offering new insights into how light interacts with matter at the quantum level.
The study, featured in 'Physical Review Letters', delves deeply into the behavior of photons - elementary particles of light - and examines their emis

Coal ash, the residue left after coal is burned for energy, has accumulated across the United States for decades. Researchers from The University of Texas at Austin have discovered that this extensive coal ash supply holds a significant amount of rare earth elements, potentially enhancing the national reserve without requiring new mining efforts.

Reducing methane emissions is a top priority in the fight against climate change because of its propensity to trap heat in the atmosphere: Methane's warming effects are 84 times more potent than CO2 over a 20-year timescale.
And yet, as the main component of natural gas, methane is also a valuable fuel and a precursor to several important chemicals. The main barrier to using methane emissi

The integration of photovoltaic plants on agricultural land has long sparked debate over balancing energy production with crop cultivation. Now, the innovative approach of combining both has gained momentum with promising results. This "agrivoltaic" system, which involves placing solar panels within agricultural setups, has been examined by a University of Cordoba research team to see if solar e

Researchers at The Ohio State University have developed an innovative process to transform carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into methane fuel using electricity from renewable sources, potentially reshaping the future of carbon capture and energy production.
CO2, a major greenhouse gas driving climate change, is generated by power plants, transportation, and industrial activities. Existing ca

If they want to stop Matt Gaetz, a Democrat needs to stand up on the floor--and show the guts in breaking precedent, collegiality, and tradition, with the truth that Republicans have shown breaking all rules, decorum and LAWS. Yet, in their case, they do it in service of lies, conspiracy, cruelty, Christian Nationalism and greed.
