Gold is one of the most highly sought after materials on the planet, so inventing a way to turn a much more abundant material, like copper, into the precious metal would be a huge accomplishment.

Zero-thermal-expansion (ZTE) materials are widely used in precision optics, cryogenic equipment and sensors, where even small ...

Copper has long been known for its ability to kill viruses and bacteria on contact, which is why it's often professionally coated onto commonly touched items such as doorknobs. A new copper nanowire ...

“Copper peptides are a type of carrier peptide made up of copper bound to amino acids, which are the building blocks of ...

Composite copper–lanthanum and copper–yttrium oxides developed by researchers from Japan demonstrate exceptionally high ...

Proper copper levels are essential to the health of the brain at rest, new research shows. The brain consumes 20-percent of the oxygen taken in through respiration. This high demand for oxygen and ...

Researchers offer conclusive research for understanding how bacteria found in copper mines convert toxic copper ions to stable single-atom copper. Their research demonstrates how copper-resistant ...

Copper is everywhere — in the Earth’s crust, in electrical wiring, in our bodies and, during the coronavirus pandemic, it’s even been showing up in masks. “Of the metals that are out there, it is as ...
