The synchrotron’s high-precision beam allowed them to quantify structural disorder, porosity, pore curvature and the ...

TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) - It’s our 100th episode of Moment of Science, so we’re going platinum! Let’s take a look at one of the heaviest and most versatile metals known to man. The name comes from the ...

You might have seen sped-up videos of how some crystals form. Maybe you did the famous experiment of putting a metal ring in ...

Researchers have created a form of platinum that can remain liquid at room temperature, by mixing tiny amounts of the precious metal with gallium. This new liquid platinum performs catalytic reactions ...

Based on a report by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science, platinum is being used increasingly in chemical plants as a catalyst. A catalyst is something which speeds up or enhances ...

Squeezing a platinum catalyst a fraction of a nanometer nearly doubles its catalytic activity, say researchers, a finding that could lead to better fuel cells and other clean energy technologies. A ...

Researchers have created a platinum foam that can catalyze the splitting of water. John Shelnutt of Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque and his collaborators embedded light-absorbing molecules ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The church publishes the ...

About 12,800 years ago, much of the Earth was plunged into a mini ice age, leading to the extinction of many megafauna species. What exactly caused this period, known as the Younger Dryas, is still up ...
