Scientists have observed "coronae" on treetops for the first time, confirming the phenomenon occurs in the wild.

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 ...

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

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, ...

The Schrödinger equation rewrote the rules of matter and forever changed the field of chemistry. Donald Truhlar, a chemist at the University of Minnesota, calls it the “greatest advance of the 20th ...

The nation’s northern region has led the scientific quest to understand the aurora borealis. This summer, a 10,000-antenna ...

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

Uncover real fossils and pan for gems at a world class science museum in Cartersville Georgia where hands on exhibits spark curiosity and adventure for all ages ...

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 ...

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

Casimir cavities are mysterious spaces between microscopic metal plates in a vacuum. Areas of diminished energy between the plates cause them to push toward each other, as if trying to fill the ...

How will a warming Arctic affect plant growth on Svalbard? Researchers encased plant plots in a thick layer of ice during the ...
