Optical cavities confine light on a small region in space, which can result in a strong coupling of light with materials inside the cavity. This gi ...

The multiple challenges of managing large-scale PV wastes demand a proactive approach; the costs of being underprepared or ...

Hydrogen-rich compounds hold promise as high-temperature superconductors under high pressures. Recent theoretical hydride structures on achieving h ...

We present a systematic study of the Raman spectra of optical phonons in graphene monolayers under tunable uniaxial tensile stress. Both the G and ...

The core extends from the depth of 2,900 km to the center of the Earth and is composed mainly of an iron-rich alloy with nickel, with 10% of the mass comprised of lighter elements like hydrogen, but ...

Winter wheats differ from spring wheats in their requirement for a long period at low temperatures to become competent to flower. This process, vernalization, prevents the damage of the cold-sensitive ...

We show that for thousands of years, humans have concentrated in a surprisingly narrow subset of Earth’s available climates, characterized by mean annual temperatures around ∼13 °C. This distribution ...

There is controversy concerning the role of genetic factors in species extinctions. Many authors have asserted that species are usually driven to extinction before genetic factors have time to impact ...

It is thought that strong electron correlation in an insulating parent phase would enhance a critical temperature (Tc) of superconductivity in a do ...

We present the complete genome sequence of uropathogenic Escherichia coli, strain CFT073. A three-way genome comparison of the CFT073, enterohemorr ...

There is growing interest in thin, lightweight, and flexible energy storage devices to meet the special needs for next-generation, high-performance, flexible electronics. Here we report a thin, ...

In carbon capture and storage (CCS), CO 2 is captured at power plants and then injected underground into reservoirs like deep saline aquifers for long-term storage. While CCS may be critical for the ...
