The world on the other side of Alice in Wonderland’s looking-glass is not what it seems, but the mirror-like physics of the superconductor-insulator transition operates exactly as expected.

Two materials scientists, Suzanne te Velthuis and Stephan Rosenkranz, have been named fellows of the Neutron Scattering Society of America (NSSA).

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proud to announce the 29 university teams selected to compete in the third annual Cyber Defense Competition (CDC), taking place April 6–7, 2018.

A team of scientists has found a new way to create molecular interconnections that can give a certain class of materials exciting new properties, including improving their ability to catalyze chemical reactions or harvest energy from light.

When a solar cell absorbs a photon of light, it starts an electronic race against time. Two particles — a negatively charged electron and positively charged ​“hole” — generate electricity if they fully separate.

Making chemicals for industrial processes often requires scientists to use a catalyst — a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction, reducing the amount of energy it takes to make different products.

Mosquitos may have a reputation for being one of the world’s most intractable pests, but they are actually quite tiny and fragile.
