Scientists developed living materials that turn Martian dust into structures using synthetic lichens. This innovation enables ...

Not quite crystals and not quite a glass, quasicrystals are an oddity whose properties are not well understood – but now we ...

The research team has identified atacamite as a material with magnetocaloric properties. Natural crystals have long ...

Algae grown under Mars-like conditions could make bioplastic building materials for structures to harbor life in space.

Rain comes when water molecules in the atmosphere clump together to form ice crystals or water droplets that are heavy enough to fall to the ground. But what causes that clumping to happen?

Not much attention is paid to plankton because these creatures are usually hidden from sight. They are mostly microscopic in size and live in aquatic environments, but human lives are intricately ...
