Recently, a team of scientists was able to detect metastable helium in the upper atmosphere of an exoplanet. This was quite an accomplishment considering it had never been done before. The formation ...

Metastable Materials, a Bengaluru, India-based lithium-ion battery recycling startup founded in 2021, is on a mission to transform the recycling industry via its “cutting-edge technology.” The company ...

Among genetically identical "agouti viable yellow" (A vy) mice, some are brown and lean while others are yellow and obese. These differences are due to epigenetics, a system of molecular tags—such as ...

The National Academies' Condensed Matter and Materials Research Committee (CMMRC) hosts an annual workshop. In 2026, an ad hoc planning committee will organize a public workshop that presents a ...

New research involving Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists shows that water can remain liquid in a metastable state when transitioning from liquid to a dense form of ice at higher ...

While the plates carry water to the Earth's interior, phase transitions of dry olivine, the main mineral in the plates, are thought to be responsible for deep-focus earthquakes and plate deformation.

Mass spectrometers can now be operated at pressures in the proximity of those applied in most plasma processing systems due to the availability of particle detectors capable of being used at pressures ...

Distinct skyrmion phases at room temperature in two-dimensional ferromagnet Fe 3 GaTe 2 To see how robust the metastable triangular-lattice SkX is, we have further investigated the field dependence of ...
