In physics, some waves behave in a surprising way: instead of spreading out and fading, they hold their shape as they travel ...

New microwave plasma method recovers 95% metals from battery waste, boosting recycling and cutting environmental impact.

Critical minerals such as those used in lithium-ion batteries come in limited supply and are concentrated in specific regions ...

While science has a solid grasp on calculating drag and resistance on microscopic spherical objects, particles like dust, microplastics, and viruses are rarely spherical. A new study re-analyzes a ...

In November, scientists arrived at the South Pole in planes outfitted with skis to pull off a construction project seven years in the making. They had a short summer window — November to early ...

When you drill down into the very fabric of reality—where elementary particles make up the matter that is you and me and everything around us in three-dimensional space—things get divided nicely into ...

The National Science Foundation's massive IceCube neutrino detector at the South Pole just got a major new upgrade, which promises to take the search for "ghost particles" to a new level. When you ...

The new U.S. strategy for rare-earth minerals looks a lot like China’s old one. A U.S. government agency is providing most of the funding for a $12 billion government-led stockpile of minerals, some ...
