A sub-nanometer buffer improved atomically thin transistors, pushing future chips closer to silicon’s limits. A transistor channel only one atom thick sounds like an ideal foundation for the next generation of computer chips. But surrounding that channel with the materials needed to control it can erase much of its advantage. Researchers at National Yang Ming […]
One of the Thinnest Transistor Interfaces Yet Could Reshape Future Chips

Nuclear Reactors Keep Emitting a Hidden Signal Long After They Shut Down
Long after a nuclear reactor goes dark, its radioactive fuel continues to whisper through matter, leaving behind a hidden signal that scientists have detected for the first time. Turning off a nuclear reactor stops the chain reaction, but it does not make the reactor completely quiet. Long after the core goes dark, radioactive fragments left […]
This Ancient Grain Could Help Transform Children’s Gut Health
Iron-rich pearl millet may improve toddler nutrition without disrupting the developing gut microbiome. Each day, hundreds of toddlers in Mumbai’s urban slums ate porridge, soft curry, or freshly baked foods prepared for young children. Some meals contained ordinary pearl millet, an ancient grain widely eaten in India. Others used a specially bred millet with almost […]

Pesticide Exposure May Carry a Serious Neurological Risk Years Later
Pesticide exposure on the job could sharply increase the risk of ALS, with men and heavily exposed workers facing the greatest danger. Regular contact with pesticides may carry risks that do not become apparent until years later. A new review suggests that people exposed to these chemicals at work face a substantially greater likelihood of […]
Spain’s Largest Wildfire on Record Burned an Area the Size of New York City
Record wildfires scorched Spain and France, creating vast burn scars and a rare fire-powered cloud over France. Wildfires are a recurring summer threat across Europe, but the fires that swept through Spain and France in July 2026 ranked among the most destructive and disruptive either country had experienced in decades. Some of the most serious […]
