White dwarf explosions may be initiated by uranium in the stellar core detonating like a nuclear weapon.

Researchers have measured superfluid helium’s full dispersion spectrum, explaining discrepancies in previous studies and constraining theories of superfluidity.

Theorists propose new strategies for designing high-temperature superconductors that operate at vastly reduced pressures—a step toward ambient-condition superconductors.

In a two-dimensional material, the orbital motion of electrons, rather than their spin, is the dominant contribution to an effect harnessed by spintronic devices.

How quickly a protein diffuses in a liquid depends directly on its radius, which changes as the protein’s conformation fluctuates.

Patricia Lopez-Sanchez studies the flow properties of microalgae, with the aim of incorporating this nutritional powerhouse into new food products.
