All-solid-state batteries are emerging energy storage solutions in which flammable liquid electrolytes are substituted by solid materials that conduct lithium ions. In addition to being safer than lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) ...

Past neuroscience studies have consistently showed the profound effects of early life experiences on the brain's wiring, particularly on the formation of the junctions that enable communication between neurons (i.e., synapses). ...

Over the past few years, engineers and material scientists have been trying to devise new optical systems in which light particles (i.e., photons) can move freely and in useful ways, irrespective of defects and imperfections. ...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is estimated to be experienced by roughly 1 in 127 people worldwide. It is characterized by atypical patterns in brain development, which manifest in differences ...

Smoking remains one of the most deleterious habits for human health, as it is known to increase the risk of several life-threatening diseases, including lung and throat cancers, heart disease and strokes. While most smokers ...

Optical clocks are highly precise timekeeping devices that measure time by tracking the oscillations of light, as opposed to microwaves, like conventional atomic clocks. The accuracy of these clocks heavily depends on the ...

Bloch oscillations are periodic oscillations of quantum particles in a repeating energy "landscape" (e.g., a crystal lattice) that are subjected to a constant force. These particle motions have been the focus of numerous ...

Depression and anxiety disorders are among the most widespread mental health disorders, with estimates suggesting that they affect around 264 million and 284 million people worldwide, respectively. Depression is a mood disorder ...

Time-varying systems, materials with properties that change over time, have opened new possibilities for the experimental manipulation of waves. Contrarily to static systems, which exhibit the same properties over time, these ...

Plasma is a state of matter that emerges when a gas is heated to sufficiently high temperatures, prompting some electrons to become free from atoms. This state of matter has been the focus of many astrophysical studies, as ...

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental health disorder characterized by hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking and atypical movement or speech patterns. This psychiatric condition can be highly debilitating, and diagnosed ...

The precise imaging of many-body systems, which are comprised of many interacting particles, can help to validate theoretical models and better understand how individual particles in these systems influence each other. Ultracold ...

Over the past few decades, biomedical researchers and neuroscientists have devised increasingly advanced techniques to study and alter neurophysiological processes. These include CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short ...

Over the past decades, energy engineers have introduced a wide range of systems and approaches aimed at mitigating climate change and preserving the environment on Earth. Given that global dependence on fossil fuels is likely ...

Oxygen, the colorless and odorless gas that is essential to the survival of humans and other living organisms, is estimated to make up around 21% of Earth's atmosphere. While the primary properties of oxygen are now well ...
