Researchers at Kumamoto University, in collaboration with colleagues in South Korea and Taiwan, have discovered that a unique cobalt-based molecule with metal–metal bonds can function as a spin ...

Siddarth Kara's bestseller, "Cobalt Red: How the Blood of Congo Powers Our Lives," focuses on problems surrounding the sourcing of cobalt, a critical component of lithium-ion batteries that power many ...

During DNA replication, the classic double helix can temporarily rearrange into an alternative structure known as a DNA three-way junction (3WJ). These configurations form a well-defined central ...

Cobalt, a metal that has spent decades inside hard drives and rechargeable batteries, now turns out to harbor quantum-topological features that physicists had assumed required exotic, lab-grown ...
