We summarize the week's scientific breakthroughs every Thursday.
Scientists have filmed nanoscale ice crystals adapting to trapped air bubbles without losing structural integrity.
The Big Bang may have spawned these theoretical black holes, whose lives are thought to end in a burst of extremely energetic particles.
In Tales of Militant Chemistry, Alice Lovejoy traces how film giants Kodak and Agfa helped produce weapons of war during the 20th century.
Experiments reveal that when slabs of salty ice are strained, electricity is generated, though practical uses are still a long way off.
Researchers could use quantum effects to develop new types of medical imaging inside cells themselves.
Gravitational waves emitted after two black holes coalesced agree with theories from physicists Stephen Hawking and Roy Kerr.
The subatomic particles called neutrinos are famously elusive. But an unconventional trick could make a laser beam of the aloof particles.
Ripple bugs’ nimble movements on the surface of water inspired a robot with automatically unfurling fans on its feet.
Adding a magnet could simplify the process of producing oxygen in space, making a crewed mission to Mars more feasible.
