For the first time, a quantum radiation reaction in strong electromagnetic fields has been demonstrated experimentally by ...
It has long been known as the arbiter of reward in the brain, but recent findings could upend this classic theory of dopamine ...
The human mind has always fascinated scientists, but the quest to understand psychological behavior has led researchers down some disturbingly dark paths.
Gold and other heavy elements are born in some of the universe’s most violent events—but scientists still struggle to understand the nuclear steps that create them. Now, nuclear physicists have ...
A new method transforms a "persistent environmental liability" into a much-desired resource, the researchers say.
Scientists studying Mars may have uncovered a brand-new mineral hidden in the planet’s ancient sulfate deposits. By combining laboratory experiments with orbital data, researchers identified an ...
Drug discovery is like molecular Tetris. Chemists snap atoms together, adjusting the pieces until everything fits and suddenly, a molecule makes a promising new medicine.
In a current strategy paper, an international team with the participation of Graz University of Technology calls for the search for room-temperature superconductors to be pursued in a coordinated ...
Researchers developed a machine-learning workflow that predicts how chemical reactions will form specific “handed” versions of molecules—critical for safe and effective drugs. Trained on small ...
