There is a global water crisis, and it is not only about the dwindling supply of clean water. Contaminated drinking water exposes hundreds of millions of people worldwide to toxins, such as bacteria, heavy metals, pesticides and coronaviruses.

For years, we've known that a special kind of molecular assembly known as a "polyelectrolyte complex" helps your cells keep themselves organized.

Researchers detected signatures of FQAH states, which is a step toward a fault-tolerant qubit, which is crucial for quantum computing.

Scientists have the technology to bring extinct species back to life, give or take a few missing DNA strands. But should they?

The Electrochemical Society (ECS) has selected scientist Shirley Meng of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory as the recipient of the 2023 Battery Division Research Award for innovative research on interfacial science, which has led to improved battery technologies.

When you turn on a lamp to brighten a room, you are experiencing light energy transmitted as photons, which are small, discrete quantum packets of energy. These photons must obey the sometimes strange laws of quantum mechanics, which, for instance, dictate that photons are indivi...

Scientists show they can create quantum superpositions of sound particles, pointing to the potential for mechanical quantum computers.

Scientists from Argonne National Laboratory have developed a new catalyst using abundant elements like cobalt, which could reduce the cost and increase the efficiency of hydrogen production, aiding its use in multiple industries.

A team led by scientists and engineers at the University of Washington has announced a significant advancement in developing fault-tolerant qubits for quantum computing. In a pair of papers published June 14 in Nature and June 22 in Science, they report that, in experiments with flakes of semiconductor materials — each only a single layer of atoms thick — they detected signatures of “fractional quantum anomalous Hall” (FQAH) states. The team’s discoveries mark a first and promising ste...
