The “engine” at King’s College London is contradicting thermodynamic laws—and could transform how we understand proteins and ...

Although solar-powered devices are now fairly common, Swedish scientists have created something a little different. They've built tiny "metavehicles" that are mechanically propelled and guided via ...

Studying fabrics at very high magnification helps determine how some face masks filter out particles better than others. And the close-ups reveal an unseen beauty of the mundane objects that have now ...

In this video, I challenge you to identify different objects from my science lab as I view them under a digital microscope.

Researchers describe a method to fabricate single-crystal vases several microns in size. The molecules spontaneously grow into the structures after drop-casting. This work may allow new experiments in ...

Flashes of microlightning between microscopic bubbles of methane in water may ignite the eerie blue flames of will-o’-the wisps, new research suggests.

Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...

Just a quick reminder for our readers on the awesome deal on the Microscope Science Kit for Kids in the Geeky Gadgets Deals store this week. The Microscope Science Kit for Kids is available in the ...

“Mechanical objectivity,” which Lorraine Daston and Peter Galison trace to the mid-nineteenth century, often coincided with efforts to inscribe nature “directly,” such as through automatic registering ...

Things got really big in a Berks Nature classroom on Saturday. An event titled “Microscopic Science: The Small World of Angelica Creek Park” drew learners from ages 5 to older than 60. Starting with ...

Looking for the perfect STEM or science gift for kids? In this video, we test a digital microscope that lets children explore ...

N95: In an N95 mask (seen in false color cross section), a thin outer layer (top) and a thick inner layer (bottom) sandwich a filtration layer (purple), which traps the smallest particles. The ...
