Astronomy, Materials Science Awards Plummet at NSF
3+ day, 8+ hour ago (327+ words) The new NSF headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia, in May 2026. The National Science Foundation has so far issued over 40% fewer research grants this year compared to recent years. But not all fields are feeling the losses equally. Marcel Agüeros, president of…...
How water can both help and hinder lithium-ion batteries
4+ day, 1+ hour ago (292+ words) lead image Renewable energy needs a place to be stored. This is often done using lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), which is not the perfect solution. LIBs — which work by moving lithium ions through an electrolyte between the battery electrodes — can be…...
Science Journalist Dennis Overbye Awarded 2026 Andrew Gemant Award
4+ day, 10+ hour ago (665+ words) 2026 Gemant Award winner Dennis Overbye, former cosmic affairs correspondent at the New York Times. Earl Wilson, The New York Times WASHINGTON, Sept. 8, 2026 — AIP is pleased to announce Dennis Overbye as the winner of the 2026 Andrew Gemant Award. Overbye, the longtime…...
Diamond anvil cell developed for studying lower-temperature muon-catalyzed fusion reactions
1+ week, 1+ day ago (248+ words) Swapping out an electron for a muon in hydrogen isotopes, muon-catalyzed fusion has shown promise for achieving thermonuclear fusion at temperatures more than one ten-thousandth that of conventional thermonuclear fusion. Diamond anvil cells (DACs) can reliably contain high-pressure conditions while…...
A label-free imaging technique can distinguish biological pigments
1+ week, 2+ day ago (224+ words) lead image But THG microscopy lacks chemically-specific information for use in certain biomedical applications. Following up on previous studies of THG responses in hemoglobin, Dees et al. imaged red blood cells and yellow pigmented cells called xanthophores in zebrafish larvae,…...
A numerical look at the deformation of capsule membranes in a flow
1+ week, 3+ day ago (194+ words) lead image How elastic capsules and cells deform in a viscous flow is important for many biomedical and microfluidic applications, including drug delivery and next-generation diagnostic devices. Capsule dynamics have been well studied, both experimentally and numerically, yet researchers still…...
Algorithm optimizes machine learning techniques that use linear, tunable resistor networks
1+ week, 5+ day ago (160+ words) lead image Analog computing has shown promise for circumventing many concerns about energy usage associated with large-scale artificial intelligence applications. Questions persist, however, regarding how to train systems with such local computing constraints. Local learning algorithms such as equilibrium propagation…...
Funding Cuts, Public Trust, and AI Dominate Concerns for Physical Scientists, Survey Reveals
1+ week, 5+ day ago (341+ words) AIP Statistics published this report on Aug. 31, 2026. Fading federal research spending overwhelmingly struck physical scientists as their top concern for the future, according to an American Institute of Physics survey, published today. Public trust in science and artificial intelligence followed…...
Chemical vapor deposition methods proliferate in producing 2D transition metal dichalcogenides
2+ week, 1+ day ago (173+ words) Zhao et al. have provided a review to capture the rapid growth of CVD methods for producing TMDs. Taking stock of the research landscape, the group’s paper highlights advances and challenges ahead for the field as it continues to proliferate…...
Immersion lithography in wafer scanning
3+ week, 1+ day ago (148+ words) lead image Bridging fundamental fluid dynamics and lithography engineering, Yuan et al. reviewed multiphase flow dynamics in wafer defect control, discussing different types of liquid interfacial phenomena. “We present a unified theoretical framework incorporating the diverse defect origins within the…...
