A new report from Google, Google DeepMind and M.I.T. finds that researchers are using AI—a lot. It’s just not helping as much in the lab

MAX phases are an extremely versatile family of layered compounds that usually consist of an early to-mid transition metal (M-element), a main group element (mainly groups 13–15) or late transition me...

Ruddlesden-Popper oxide phases in the LaxSr2−xCo0.5Ir0.5O4 (0 < x < 1) solid solution can be converted to the corresponding LaxSr2−xCo0.5Ir0.5O4−yHy oxyhydride phases, by topochemical reaction with…

This work introduces an in situ precipitation strategy for the hydrogel-based vat photopolymerization of architected ceramics and metals with reduced shrinkages and improved densities. Repeated infus...

Four out of five making staff cuts as physicists say findings are ‘great concern’ for UK’s leadership in important areas

In its statement on "Relief Package 27", the SNSF speaks out against the proposed annual cuts of 10 percent.

Although it hasn’t detected dark matter yet, its developers say it offers an alternative path that is worth exploring

Instructions in preprints from 14 universities highlight controversy on AI in peer review

Nearly all photochemical transformations known to date follow Kasha’s rule, implying that reactions occur only from the lowest electronically excited state of a given spin multiplicity due to the fast...

Research-funding cuts and immigration changes threaten some of America’s economic advantages.

A century-old mystery of a stubborn cold patch in the North Atlantic is finally being unraveled. A new study links this anomaly to a long-term weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulat...

In this study, employing a detailed analysis of ocean carbonate system observations, models and biological assessments, we demonstrate that by year 2020, the average global ocean conditions had alrea....

Again, as a distraction from persistently concerning news, here is a science mystery of which I was previously unaware. The role of approxim...

“Pure retribution,” one NSF staffer said of the administration axing $46 million in unfinished research. “We as a nation are shooting ourselves in both feet.”

Deutschland ächzt unter der derzeitigen Trockenheit. In manchen Regionen hat es seit Februar nicht mehr geregnet. Besonders für viele Landwirte ist das eine katastrophale Situation. Von Martin Rottach...

The use of water as a solvent to facilitate supramolecular self-assembly and polymerization is well-documented; however, it is rare that water acts as a monomer that undergoes polymerization. We repor...
