New evidence shows that a tiny barrier inside solid-state battery cells can decide whether fast-charging will be common in the near future.

In a quiet corner of low-temperature physics, researchers have stumbled on a phase of matter that seems to break one of the ...

From copper and stone to brass and cement, these mixed-material backsplash pairings prove your kitchen can stand out by ...

Solid-state batteries could store more energy and charge faster than today’s batteries, but they tend to crack and fail over ...

Here's a sobering thought: you'll spend roughly 1,700 hours this year sitting at your desk. That's more time than you'll spend exercising, cooking, or even sleeping on weekends. Yet most people put ...

New research suggests that the Earth's solid inner core is softer and more dynamic than previously thought, changing ideas.
