This spring, the museum is hosting events exploring everything from how our ancestors wielded wooden tools to the work of ...

Book science helps decipher and preserve fragile manuscripts, at a moment when climate change and mass digitization are ...

A hands-on science festival at the Exploratorium invites visitors to explore the microscopic world through interactive exhibits, live demonstrations and more from leading Bay Area labs.

When created at the nanoscale, materials can resemble shapes like stars, rods or even pyramids. These particle shapes, also ...

Star-shaped vanadium hydroxide nanoparticles show that changing a material's shape from sheets to stars shifts its energy ...

Microplastics are everywhere, and the numbers keep rising. Why? The obvious answer is that there are more of them — but that ...

Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the material actually help, creating networks that separate and guide electric ...

A University of Michigan researcher stumbled upon a crucial caveat for every study of microplastics—lab gloves may have ...

But when we push metal components down to the nanoscale, the traditional rules of physics start to warp. In 3D printing, this is a nightmare, as even a tiny error can wreck an entire structure. Now, a ...

Concussions are a common injury, responsible for as many as 3 million emergency room visits every year. Children playing ...

How does the brain link memory to motivation? A new study reveals that dorsal and ventral hippocampal pathways converge on the same neurons to drive reward-seeking behavior.

Nitrile and latex gloves that scientists wear while they are measuring microplastics may lead to a potential overestimation of the tiny pollutants, according to a University of Michigan study, ...
