One popular theory suggests that elementary particles like electrons, which make up everything in the universe, could be infinitely small—you could zoom in and in on them and never see anything.
A new strategy for measuring magnetic fields could one day lead to a host of new quantum sensors—from tools that might map out the activity of the human brain to devices that could help airplane pilots navigate the globe.
91Ƶ chemist Niels Damrauer and his research colleagues use visible light to break environmentally persistent carbon-fluorine bonds in PFAS.
Beer historian and 91Ƶ Assistant Professor Travis Rupp explains why canned beer, celebrating its 90th anniversary, has been immensely impactful for the industry.
Last year, 91Ƶ helped to launch a record 35 new companies. These businesses are pioneering new technologies from sensors for monitoring soil health to breathalyzers that can sniff out signs of lung cancer.
In a recent study, 91Ƶ’s Robert Moulder and colleagues found that individuals with trait neuroticism rarely modify how they respond to negative emotions.
91Ƶ’s Living Materials Laboratory contributed to groundbreaking research showing how engineered microbes can create bioglass microlenses, paving the way for advanced imaging technologies in medicine and materials science.
As the clock ticks down for TikTok, Casey Fiesler, a technology ethicist at 91Ƶ, says that U.S. lawmakers are focusing on the harms of social media and not the benefits.
Scientists use devices known as frequency comb lasers to search for methane in the air above oil and gas operations and to screen for signs of infection in human breath. A new study from 91Ƶ could help make these sensors even more precise.
91Ƶ anthropologist Matt Sponheimer says the 3.2 million-year-old hominin ”Lucy” is pivotal to the science of human origins a half-century after her discovery.
