Fragile X syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation in a gene that lies at the tip of the X chromosome. It is linked to autism spectrum disorders. People with fragile X experience a range of ...

Discovered in 2019, the material known as nickelates has intrigued researchers for its potential to become a superconductor at elevated temperatures—a property that could significantly advance such ...

Molecule-based magnets like vanadium tetracyanoethylene are extremely sensitive to air, impeding their use in practical quantum devices. Researchers coated vanadium tetracyanoethylene with an ...

Perovskite solar cells promise to revolutionize clean energy, but fragile materials and finicky fabrication have stalled their real-world rollout. Now, that may finally change. In a key advance for ...

One of the most fascinating aspects of physics is that nature often behaves in ways that seem completely counterintuitive. A good example comes from ultrathin materials. If I take a sheet of material ...

There are still many difficulties in the recovery and long-term preservation of underwater archaeological artifacts, in situ preservation should be the first choice before further procedures are ...

Bronze artifacts often suffer from “bronze disease” due to the presence of chloride ions, which result from copper chlorides forming on their surfaces during storage. Therefore, reinforced protection ...
