Energy efficiency in physics is not measured the way most people think about it. Instead of asking how much heat a process ...

Despite being riddled with impurities and defects, solution-processed lead-halide perovskites are surprisingly efficient at ...

Researchers have unveiled an “evapolectric” device that pulls energy from the evaporation of water, producing significantly more electrical power than previous moisture-based energy technologies. The ...

Energy is fundamentally important—researchers have linked a lack of reliable energy to poor physical health, poor mental ...

To store heat for days, weeks, or months, you need to trap the energy in the bonds of a molecule that can later release heat on demand. The approach to this particular chemistry problem is called ...

Those who managed to stay awake in science class may recall learning about piezoelectricity, where materials like quartz generate electricity when put under pressure. This is because the crystals that ...

Nuclear fusion, the process that powers every star in the observable universe, has moved from theoretical physics into the realm of real laboratory results. On December 5, 2022, scientists achieved ...

Rub a balloon on your hair and the balloon typically picks up a negative electric charge, while your hair goes positive. But a new study shows that the charge an object picks up can depend on its ...

New data from major dark-energy observatories suggest the universe may not expand forever after all. A Cornell physicist calculates that the cosmos is heading toward a dramatic reversal: after ...

Existing tax policies during the energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources will lead to major energy injustices and skewed priorities, new research shows. Existing tax policies during ...

FROM THE PINNACLE OF SPOOKY SEASON. YES, ORLANDO SCIENCE CENTER IS HELPING EVERYONE GET INTO THE HALLOWEEN SPIRIT ALL MONTH LONG. WESH TWO MARQUISE MEDA BRINGS US TO THE SCIENCE OF IT. WHAT’S ...
