Polydopamine coatings have recently been described that could be used to activate otherwise inactive surfaces. One problem in the development of these coatings is that their exact structure is unknown. Several models of polydopamine coatings have been put for…

The researchers intentionally introduced obstacles in the graphene, spaced at controlled distances and then applied a current across the sheet. Using a technique called scanning tunneling potentiomentry (STP), they measured the voltage with nanometer resoluti…

Mars is infamous for its intense dust storms, some of which kick up enough dust to be seen by telescopes on Earth. When dust particles rub against each other, as they do in Martian dust storms, they can become electrified. New research from Washington Univers…

Rice University scientists create carbon nanotubes and other hybrid nanomaterials out of plastic waste using an energy-efficient, low-cost, low-emissions process that could also be profitable.

56 million years ago, the Earth experienced one of the largest and most rapid climate warming events in its history: the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), which has similarities to current and future warming. This episode saw global temperatures rise b…

Journey Through the Universe — a partnership among NSF’s NOIRLab/Gemini, the Hawaiʻi Department of Education Hilo-Waiākea Complex Area, and the TMT International Observatory — returns to its in-person format to share with Hawai‘i students the wonders of the U…

A spiral galaxy named Leda2046648 has been captured by the James Webb Space Telescope, the most powerful observing instrument of the universe ever designed. After the timely observation of several exoplanets (in fact with Earth-like characteristics and theref…

The randomness in quantum machines helps confirm their accuracy. Quantum computers and other quantum systems experience information spreading and rapid scrambling, similar to the way dice become jumbled in a game of Boggle. This occurs as the system's basic u…

A busy week of flares and charged plasma projectiles may mean a night sky show in places like New York.

The agency stitches together 368 images to document the Perseverance rover's epic Mars sample depot.

New research suggests that the number of people threatened by sea level rise has been underestimated by tens of millions. Read more at straitstimes.com.

Newly updated elevation models of coastal regions indicate that the area of land that would be inundated with a 1 to 2 meter rise in sea level could be twice as much as previously estimated. According to current models, the most significant effects of sea lev…
