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 ...

By placing single-atom-thick adlayers of p-block metals on commonly employed gold electrodes (d-block), a research team at National Taiwan University has successfully quantified the "interfacial ...

Trevor Smith launched one of the first few space startups in Metro Atlanta in 2018 ...

Scientists now understand that the universe forges its heaviest elements, including californium, through extreme cosmic events like neutron star mergers. These cataclysmic collisions provide the ...

By placing single-atom p-block metal adlayers on gold electrodes, researchers quantified the interfacial hopping integral, establishing a universal descriptor for single-molecule junction conductance.

Roughly 270 years ago, Dr. Johann Gottlob Leidenfrost from Germany observed a peculiar behavior of water droplets on heated ...

For more than two millennia, mathematicians have produced a growing heap of pi equations in their ongoing search for methods to calculate pi faster and faster. The pile of equatio ...

Retired Texas A&M ecologist Kirk Winemiller outlined his “Periodic Table of Niches” concept during UMSL’s Margalef Seminar, inspiring students and faculty.
