In 1903, a mining engineer staked a claim on Arizona's Meteor Crater, convinced a fortune in iron lay beneath the floor, and spent 26 years drilling for a meteorite that had mostly vaporized on impact — his family still owns the crater today, and science later proved him right about everything except the treasure
1+ hour, 21+ min ago (26+ words) A wealthy engineer bet his fortune on a hole in the ground that science said was worthless, and spent three decades proving the experts catastrophically wrong....
A Century-Old Physics Effect Just Got a New Dimension
4+ hour, 36+ min ago (417+ words) Physicists have uncovered an in-plane Hall response that overturns a century-old assumption about how this famous electrical effect works. The discovery could eventually make multidirectional magnetic sensing possible with one tiny device....

15+ min ago (718+ words) Arsenic in the groundwater of Bangladesh remains one of the world’s most severe environmental health crises, with naturally mobilized arsenic exceeding guideline values across large parts of the Bengal Basin....
Spirocycle Turns Sulfur Into a Multicentred Catalyst Through Through-Space
28+ min ago (614+ words) Chemists have long relied on a single trick to make the inert atoms of the p-block of the periodic table behave like reactive metals: bend them out of shape....
Chemists Program Alkenes With Switchable Radical and Organometallic Sorting
28+ min ago (623+ words) Chemists at Wuhan University have unveiled a nickel-catalysed reaction that can build an impressive range of alkene architectures from the same simple set of starting materials, simply by changing the ligand on the catalyst....
Discarded Phone Batteries Turned Into Water-Purifying Carbon
1+ hour, 7+ min ago (607+ words) Every year, millions of lithium-ion batteries reach the end of their lives, and most of the graphite inside them is quietly thrown away....
Hollow Alumina Spheres Deliver Complete Conversion in Greener Diethyl
1+ hour, 7+ min ago (88+ words) Chemists at Shihezi University in China have shown that the shape of a catalyst can matter as much as its chemistry, reporting that hollow spherical alumina particles outperform conventional forms of the same material in a key industrial reaction. In…...
Engineered Bacterial Teams Turn Sunlight and CO2 Into 1-Butanol
1+ hour, 40+ min ago (350+ words) Scientists at Uppsala University have taken a significant step toward a long-sought goal in industrial biotechnology: using sunlight and carbon dioxide to feed engineered microbes that churn out valuable chemicals. In a study published in Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, Stamatina…...
Atomic Swap in Two-Dimensional Nitrides Unlocks Five New Water-Splitting
1+ hour, 40+ min ago (506+ words) A single-atom substitution could transform one of the most exciting families of two-dimensional materials from a laboratory curiosity into a working engine for solar fuels....
Tea Catechins Transform Waste Rice Bran into Powerful Emulsion Stabilizers
2+ hour, 17+ min ago (55+ words) Rice bran, the fibrous outer layer stripped away when brown rice is polished into white rice, is produced at a staggering scale of more than 63 million tons every year. Most of it is pressed for its oil, but what remains…...
