A laser hit the tiny black cube, and it lurched forward almost at once. That split-second jump, caught during a zero-gravity arc aboard a parabolic flight, points to a strange and promising idea for ...

While neutrinos are some of the most abundant particles in the universe, they remain among the least understood. One of the biggest puzzles is their mass: although experiments have shown that ...

(Nanowerk News) For the last 20 years, scientists have been puzzled by how water behaves near carbon surfaces. It may flow much faster than expected from conventional flow theories or form strange ...

Early carbon light bulbs may have produced graphene, since applying voltage to carbon filaments mirrors what is now called flash Joule heating. Graphene is a transparent, remarkably strong substance, ...

Disbelief is often the first reaction to how one of the greatest material breakthroughs of the twenty-first century came about. The simple tools used to isolate a substance that altered the course of ...
