Self-Repelling Species Still Self-Organize
Catalytically active particles form clusters when they respond not only to their own chemical targets but to those of other catalysts, too. Continue reading
The History of the Printing Press under an X-Ray Microscope
Researchers turn to synchrotron imaging of historical and homemade prints to explore possible connections between early printing methods in Korea and Europe. Continue reading
Global Connectivity Predicts Reactivity
The reactivity of a material is describable using only the arrangement of its atoms, a finding that could be used to speed up the search for new catalytic materials. Continue reading
Droplets Scoot Like Caterpillars
A liquid droplet pushed by the wind contracts and stretches its way along a surface until it breaks apart. Continue reading
Photovoltaic Effect Goes Symmetric
A flower-petal pattern of light could induce electrical currents in a wider array of crystalline materials. Continue reading

Completing the Picture of How Oil Weathers in Seawater
Experiments show that crude oil exposed to sunlight weathers differently in cold seas than in warmer ones, a finding that has implications for cleanup efforts of high-latitude marine oil spills. Continue reading
Global Quantum Communication via a Satellite Train
Long-distance quantum communication can be achieved by directly sending light through space using a train of orbiting satellites that function as optical lenses. Continue reading
Writing the Rules of Turbulence
An experimentally derived equation of state captures a turbulent energy cascade in a far-from-equilibrium quantum gas. Continue reading
Scientists Theorize a Hidden Phase Transition Between Liquid and a Solid
Improved understanding of glassy dynamics could help scientists explain why a liquid behaves like a solid, and develop useful new materials. Continue reading
Zap with Microwaves to Reverse Spin
Irradiating a uniaxial magnetic system with a specific sequence of microwave pulses can induce in the system quantum oscillations that cause the material’s spins to flip back and forth. Continue reading
