Chemists could make 'smart glass' smarter by manipulating it at the nanoscale
Researchers have devised a potentially major improvement to the tinting speed and durability of smart glass by providing a better understanding of how the glass works at the nanoscale.
Soil communities threatened by destruction, instability of Amazon forests, new study finds
Researchers found that the abundance, biomass, richness and diversity of soil fauna and microbes were all reduced following deforestation.
The search for nothing at all
If discovered, neutrinoless double-beta decay would solve longstanding mysteries about the basic properties of neutrinos, which are among the most abundant but least understood particles in the universe.
