A failed control experiment led Cambridge chemists to discover a metal-free, LED-driven method for modifying drug molecules at positions previously considered unreachable, reversing the selectivity rules established by Friedel and Crafts in 1877.
Los Alamos and University of New Mexico researchers built THOR, an open-source tensor network framework that computes configurational integrals for crystalline solids 400 times faster than molecular dynamics simulations.
MIT physicists built the first terahertz near-field microscope and used it to directly image quantum oscillations of superconducting electrons in BSCCO, a result published in Nature.
Researchers use pressure quenching to lock in a record superconducting transition temperature of 151 K at ambient pressure, surpassing a 33-year-old record.
A novel covalent organic framework electrolyte solves calcium-ion transport problems that have stalled the technology for decades, opening a path to cheaper, more abundant battery chemistry.
A new class of high-entropy boride magnets made from earth-abundant metals achieves magnetic properties approaching rare-earth levels, offering a potential path to breaking dependence on Chinese-controlled supply chains for EVs, wind turbines, and electronics.
