Back to the future
A look back at the technologies that evolved in 2025 and will transform the next decade and more in science.
How not to lose your marble
Mapping the damage heat inflicts on stone.
Decoding graphene's quantum soup
Ultraclean graphene can flow like a liquid and upend a fundamental law of electrical and thermal conductivity.
All's well that gels well
An eco-friendly, water-based lubricant may well be the answer to toxic alternatives.
Connect the dots
Ultrathin films made from tiny carbon quantum dots on a metal oxide conduct electricity at low temperatures.
