Advances in organ and computer models are raising the prospect that some animal experiments could be eliminated. But there ...

In a process that takes just seconds, James Tour ’s group at Rice University can transform discarded glass and coal waste to ...

Fluids moving through pipes lose energy to friction along the walls. Collisions, defects, and random motion steadily break ...

Washington State University researchers have developed a 3D-printed model of the left side of the heart that contracts and ...

A lid is not merely a piece of stamped metal; it is a mechanical component that must interface perfectly with the can body to ...

Generative AI models have been used to create enormous libraries of theoretical materials that could help solve all kinds of problems. Now, scientists just have to figure out how to make them. In many ...

Startups flush with cash are building AI-assisted laboratories to find materials far faster and more cheaply, but are still waiting for their ChatGPT moment. The microwave-size instrument at Lila ...

All the world’s discarded phones, bricked laptops, and other trashed electronics are collectively a treasure trove of rare earth elements (REEs). But separating out and recovering these increasingly ...

Researchers at Stanford University have developed a new mathematical model that could improve the evaluation of potential storage sites for nuclear waste and carbon dioxide. The approach provides a ...

Not every experiment leads to a breakthrough. For every headline-making innovation, there are countless smaller steps that quietly map the limits of what is possible. Every “aha” is preceded by a ...
