High-resolution measurements capture brief but informative moments in a molecule’s structural evolution.

The recipe for making the device paves the way for using the tunable materials as ingredients in flexible electronics.

A compact spectroscopic system can measure radioactive carbon dioxide concentrations as low as five parts per quadrillion.

A combination of desalination, wastewater reuse, and efficient irrigation have produced water independence.

The opportunity to follow their curiosity keeps researchers connected to the greater scientific community.

Updated guidelines for professional behavior aim to improve the culture of science—and even the science that gets done.

Since its founding in 1916, The Optical Society has brought together a global community of scientists, engineers, business leaders, and students whose work in optics and photonics has transformed the world.

By incorporating novel subwavelength structures into macroscopic materials, acousticians can create devices with exotic sound-altering properties.

Shooting out of the galaxy at speeds greater than the escape velocity, hypervelocity stars provide a window on black holes and the distribution of dark matter surrounding the glowing Milky Way.

Because of the way interpenetrating sheets deform, the harder you pull, the greater the friction force resisting separation.
