NASA has received the first images from a tiny spacecraft designed to study the stars that host distant planets. The mission, called the Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat, or SPARCS, will track ...

The 2025 Maryland ACS award, presented on Feb. 4 at the Levering Hall, centered on Toscano’s work with  “fundamental organic ...

Researchers have developed a PFAS-free dual-layer sol-gel and hydrophobic silica coating that repels water, dust, and dirt while maintaining high light transmission for solar panels. The transparent, ...

Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have demonstrated a new kind of vacuum ultraviolet laser that is 100 to 1,000 times more efficient than existing technologies of its kind. The ...

The exosphere is the outermost layer of a planetary atmosphere and is dominated by atomic hydrogen. Within our solar system, knowledge of exospheric composition, energy, and density distributions can ...

Abstract: In this letter, we present the first example of a zinc oxide (ZnO) thin film grown by atomic layer deposition method (ALD) on a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) for the detection of human ...

Austrian researchers analyzed commercial ethylene vinyl acetate–polyolefin–ethylene vinyl acetate (EPE) solar encapsulants and found that products sold under the same label can have significantly ...

In recent years, van der Waals crystals have evolved from scientific curiosities into a versatile platform for exploring novel quantum phases and unconventional nanophotonic phenomena. Their layered ...

Researchers at the University of Georgia have discovered that white-tailed deer leave behind glowing marks in the forest that are completely invisible to the human eye. Scrapes in the soil and rubs on ...

Abstract: In today's scientific research and industrial applications, the microstructure, chemical composition, and physical properties of materials are very important. In order to acquire this ...

Many animals possess hidden vibrant colors, invisible to humans, revealed under ultraviolet light through biofluorescence. This phenomenon, where tissues absorb and re-emit light, is widespread across ...
