In physics, the classical "Hall effect," discovered in the late 19th century, describes how a transverse voltage is generated ...

The electrical energy generated by thunderstorms can make our hair stand up, and even create invisible sparkles on trees. Now, we have photographic proof of this long-theorized electrical event for ...

Science Detectives, an ASU student-led organization, provides free, hands-on science lessons for third to sixth-grade students from Tempe and Mesa .

Researchers at NYU have developed a way to use light to precisely direct how microscopic particles assemble into crystals. The findings, published today (February 24) in the Cell Press journal Chem, ...

NYU scientists are using light to precisely control how tiny particles organize themselves into crystals. Their research, published in Chem, provides a simple and reversible method for forming ...

Unlike a solar eclipse, which occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, people watching Tuesday morning’s lunar eclipse don’t have to worry about damaging their eyes. Binoculars will ...

A San Diego high school senior is a finalist in the prestigious Regeneron Science Talent Search competition for her research ...

Immediately after the Big Bang boomed, the Universe was a trillion-degree 'soup' of unimaginably dense plasma. In a breakthrough experiment, researchers have found the first evidence that this exotic ...

Researchers at Georgia Tech tested copper and chemically modified reduced graphene oxide EDS to reduce lunar dust on curved surfaces under simulated lunar conditions.

Here's the science behind the claims that showering before bed in near darkness leads to deeper and faster sleep ...

Another theory held that the forces between two particles falls off exponentially in direct relationship to the distance between two particles and that the factor by which it drops is not dependent on ...

For the first time, researchers have observed and measured weak electrical discharges, known as coronae, on trees during thunderstorms. A new study describes the near-invisible sparkles appearing ...
