Imaging technology has transformed how we observe the universe—from mapping distant galaxies with radio telescope arrays to ...

Earth’s inner core has long challenged researchers because seismic waves do not move through it uniformly. Compressional ...

Seismic waves passing through Earth's inner core have revealed much about our planet's iron center: how it's changing shape, ...

Cecilia Van Cauwenberghe explains how to measure the future using nanoscale metrology and discusses the global competition ...

By forcing crystal structures to compete, scientists uncovered a new way to make magnetism twist. Florida State University ...

The erasure of women in science also marked Canadian scientist and U of T alumnus Maud Menten’s career. Frederick Banting, ...

When Earth was a molten inferno, water may have been locked safely underground rather than lost to space. Researchers ...

Developing durable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts for acidic media is vital for advancing proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWE). This study reveals that the stability of ...

This is the last entry — at least for this year — in my series on batteries. Batteries are the missing link to total off-grid ...

Water can be liquid at temperatures far below freezing under several conditions; perhaps the most surprising is as a thin layer on the surface of ice. The discovery of this fact dates at least to 1859 ...

What would happen when a geomagnetic storm causes precision navigation to become more of an approximate and causes radio ...

Researchers discover that embedding iridium atoms inside catalyst crystals instead of on the surface dramatically improves ...
