Researchers have developed a new method for processing the waste created by aluminum production. The method extracts significant amounts of high-quality iron from the waste that can be used directly in steelmaking.

Researchers have taken steps toward understanding the sulfur reduction reaction, which could improve the safety and lifespan of lithium-sulfur batteries.

New research has shone light on an age-old mystery surrounding crystals – the mechanism behind how they form.

Daily exposure to chemicals used in the manufacture of plastic food containers and many cosmetics may be tied to nearly 56,600 preterm births in the U.S. in 2018, a new study shows.

By applying optogenetic techniques to turn off neurons in the superior colliculus, researchers have discovered this brain structure's important function in visual processing.

Intricate structures of microscopic metamaterials can withstand supersonic impacts and a new method can quickly test these materials.

A 3D-printed foam material with an almost honeycomb-like structure could enhance the protection offered by football gear, bike helmets and anything that cushions fragile objects.

A University of Ottawa research team has shown that the impact of sleep apnea on the metabolism of blood lipids differs by sex, with women regulating their blood lipids better than men.

Researchers have uncovered the molecular mechanisms that underlie the memory creation process, revealing the crucial role of saturated fatty acids in the brain’s consolidation of memories.

Research from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) sheds new light on how to access the sugars locked up in plants to produce petroleum-free fuels, chemicals, and medicines.
