Electrons spewed from the surface of an LED implicate Auger recombination—but not everyone is convinced.

A previously unexplored regime of massive neutron stars and fast companions disappoints anticipations of new gravity physics.

From petrology to paleontology to physics, research at the world’s northernmost education institute involves the Arctic and much, if not all of it, bears on climate change.

Researchers hunt for appropriate semiconductors and molecules to power self-contained systems that can improve on photosynthesis.

US domestic program braces for budget cut as senators seek schedule for completion and cost of ITER.

In bolstering industry, the NRC aims for innovation and economic gain. Will isolation from research developments also result?

When coupled into an optical waveguide, the familiar narrowband radiation from a laser can become spectrally broadened into the ultimate white light.

An introductory physics course that meets the needs of biology students must recognize that the two disciplines see the world differently.

Techniques developed decades ago for nuclear magnetic resonance and now adapted for the IR, visible, and UV regions of the spectrum are enabling new insights into chemical kinetics and solid-state physics.

Twenty years ago planets orbiting faraway stars were the stuff of science fiction. Now their atmospheric composition and even their weather are being revealed by sensitive spectral measurements.
