In A Nutshell Penn State scientists captured the first direct evidence of trees producing faint electrical glows, called coronae, during live thunderstorms. The discharges hop erratically from leaf to ...

It’s amazing what a little light can do. Chemist Simon Friedman ’89 is using it in a system he hopes will help some of the 589 million people around the world who are living with diabetes.

Thunderstorms can generate weak electrical discharges on the plants underneath, but until now, they had never been observed in nature ...

NYU scientists are using light to precisely control how tiny particles organize themselves into crystals. Their research, published in Chem, provides a simple and reversible method for forming ...

Fresh observations from the James Webb Space Telescope show how vivid auroras surge through Uranus’s tilted magnetic field ...

For the first time, researchers have observed and measured weak electrical discharges, known as coronae, on trees during thunderstorms. A new study describes the near-invisible sparkles appearing ...

Researchers at NYU have developed a way to use light to precisely direct how microscopic particles assemble into crystals. The findings, published today (February 24) in the Cell Press journal Chem, ...

In science fiction, the use of gunpowder-based weapons is generally portrayed as something from a savage past, with ...

A mile beneath the Black Hills of South Dakota, crews have spent years blasting and hauling rock to carve out enormous ...
