For The Better

Polymer scientists recently announced that they have solved a longstanding mystery surrounding a nanoscale structure, formed by collections of molecules, called a double-gyroid. This shape is one of the most desirable for materials scientists, and has …

Harnessing the power of ‘phase-change’ materials, researchers have demonstrated how reconfigurable metasurfaces — artificial materials with extraordinary optical properties — are crucial to the future of nanotechnology.

Targeting specific brain cells modulated memory retrieval and altered anxiety-like behaviors in mice. Essentially, scientists boosted the electrical activity between cells in the hypothalamus and the hippocampus to create new neurons — an important pr…

Scientists working in the vast Amazon Basin have contributed more than 57,000 camera trap images for a new study.

Exercise increases levels of a chemical involved in brain cell growth, which bolsters the release of the ‘feel good’ hormone dopamine, a new study shows. Dopamine is known to play a key role in movement, motivation, and learning. Experts have long unde…

The superconductor antimony sulfide selenide is a potential candidate for solar materials, but this depends on understanding how to boost its efficiency.

Despite being vital to the study of superconductivity in cuprate materials the physical origins of the pseudogap remain a mystery.
