A team of physicists led by The City College of New York's Lia Krusin-Elbaum has developed a novel technique that uses hydrogen cations (H +) to manipulate relativistic electronic bandstructures ...

A zero calcium score with high cholesterol may mean a person is at a lower risk of coronary heart disease. It means imaging does not show a buildup of calcified plaque in the heart’s blood vessels.

Legions of battery engineers and their supporters have sought for years to build batteries cheaper than the dominant lithium-ion technology, hoping to capture some of lithium-ion's $50 billion-a-year ...
