When molecules fall apart, their electric charge doesn't stay put—it rearranges as bonds stretch and break. An international team of scientists has now tracked these ultrafast changes in the small ...

Neutron star collision in merging galaxies reveals how cosmic destruction forges heavy elements like gold, offering clues to the universe's chemical evolution.

A new study led by researchers at the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at Institute of Science Tokyo challenges a long-standing assumption about Earth's most extreme ice ages. Using numerical ...

Earth experienced several periods in its history when ice covered nearly the entire planet, known as snowball Earth events. A study at the Earth-Life Science Institute at Institute of Science Tokyo ...

Defect-filled lead-halide perovskites rival silicon solar cells because domain walls inside the material separate and guide charges. Researchers visualized these charge-transport networks using a ...

After high-profile water crises like the one in Flint, Michigan, some Americans distrust the safety of tap water, choosing to purchase drinking water from freestanding water vending machines or kiosks ...

Scientists have discovered 'berkelocene,' the first organometallic molecule to be characterized containing the heavy element berkelium. The breakthrough disrupts long-held theories about the chemistry ...

An industrial chemical most Americans already have in their bodies is back under the microscope. New research suggests that even low-level exposure in the womb can disrupt fetal development, ...
