Advancing high temperature electrolysis: Splitting water to store energy as hydrogen
While energy sources such as wind and solar are great at producing emissions-free electricity, they depend on the sun and the wind, so supply...
Rotating galaxies galore: New results from ALPINE reveal what appear to...
New results from an ambitious sky survey program, called ALPINE, reveal that rotating disk-shaped galaxies may have existed in large numbers earlier in the...
LIGO and Virgo detectors catch first gravitational wave from binary black...
The expectations of the gravitational-wave research community have been fulfilled: gravitational-wave discoveries are now part of their daily work as they have identified in...
Eurasian ice sheet collapse raised seas eight metres: study
The melting of the Eurasian ice sheet around 14,000 years ago lifted global sea levels by about eight metres, according to new research published...
New discovery helps close the gap towards optically-controlled quantum computation
Scientists at Ames Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and the University of Alabama Birmingham have discovered a light-induced switching mechanism in a Dirac semimetal. The...
