EVANSTON, Ill. — Prevailing theoretical models attempting to explain the formation of the solar system have assumed it to be average in every way. Now a new study by Northwestern University ...

To boost solar water splitting efficiency, researchers used quantum molecular dynamics to track how charge carriers (polarons) stabilize in the NaTaO 3 photocatalyst, a process previously hidden from ...

This figure illustrates the formation and numerical replication of barred olivine, a unique crystalline texture found in chondrules within meteorites. (a) A polarized light micrograph shows a natural ...

Although the Earth is depleted in volatile components relative to its potential chondritic precursors, the isotopic compositions of these elements are similar in Earth and chondrites. A theory to ...
