Water can take on far more forms than many people give it credit for, and now scientists have recreated a particularly bizarre one in the lab – a “hot black ice” that may exist deep inside planets like Uranus and Neptune.

A newly developed nanodevice could give efforts to treat Alzheimer's a real shot in the arm, by capturing harmful peptides thought to lead to the disease and clearing them away before they aggregate into harmful plaques.

​When oil is spilled into the ocean, clean up efforts can focus on the surface, but plumes of subsurface oil are harder to recover. The Oleo Sponge is a new type of foam that can not only soak up oil that has dispersed throughout water, but can be wrung out to reuse both the material and the oil.

Scientists working at the University of Chicago and the Argonne National Laboratory claim to have entangled atomic nuclei at room temperature on a semiconductor chip, using the application of relatively small magnetic fields.

In the developing world small-scale gold mining and smelting under primitive conditions poses a major health hazard. To help alleviate this, a team from Argonne National Laboratory and the US EPA are developing a prototype mercury capture system (MCS) to reduce heavy metal pollution.

Despite being the most abundant mineral on Earth, it is only recently that a naturally-occurring sample of it has been isolated. Surprisingly, that sample wasn't found on Earth. It came from outer space. Even more surprisingly, it didn't even have a name until just a short time ago.

With any medical condition, the earlier it's detected, the better. When assessing biological samples from a patient, however, it's often quite difficult to see the early indicators of a disease. That could be about to change, thanks to the development of "living liquid crystal."

An international team of scientists has made a breakthrough in the magnetic manipulation of nanoparticles that could lead to a big boost for small scale digital storage in portable devices.

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have implemented levitation in order to improve the drug development process.

Scientists have discovered a new hybrid substance that is able to dent diamonds.

Argonne National Laboratory has created the Endurance Bioenergy Reactor, a system that can produce biofuel on location from waste streams and cellulosic materials.

Scientists discover addition of plant protein boosts hydrogen production by photocatalyst.
