Metallic nanoparticles are key ingredients in products such as sunscreen, cosmetics, diesel fuel, as well as odor-eating socks. This in turn causes them to end…
Protected California sea lions are apparently gorging themselves on Chinook salmons and steelheads in the Columbia River, both of which are listed as threatened populations….
A new study from scientists at Harvard University describes the mechanism by which coiling occurs in the cucumber plant and suggests designs for biomimetic twistless…
Arthropods from the Triassic period have been discovered preserved in amber. They are 100 million years older than previous amber inclusions. The two mites and…
Diverse languages, from English to Hindi, can trace their roots back 8,000 years to Anatolia (Asia Minor), a region that’s centered around modern-day Turkey. The…
In a newly published research paper, MIT scientists describe the method they used to identify and fabricate nanocrystalline alloys that meet operational requirements, even at…
Using new imaging tools with spatial resolution up to a million times higher than clinical magnetic resonance imaging and new techniques for 3D shape analysis,…
In a newly published study, a team of researchers describes their new approach towards creating polymeric thin film biomaterials that achieve mechanical rigidity in conjunction…
Aphids can be born pregnant and males sometimes lack mouths, causing them to die after mating. New work indicates that they might also capture sunlight…
By removing a few genes, inserting a gene from another organism and tinkering with the expression of other genes, MIT scientists have discovered a way…
An international team of scientists created the world’s first hybrid crystalline/amorphous material that is hard enough to indent diamonds. Using a diamond anvil cell, the…
By synthesizing nanoparticles of sodium borohydride and encasing them inside nickel shells, chemical engineers at the University of New South Wales have demonstrated remarkable hydrogen…
MIT researchers believe engineers may be able design new bio-inspired materials by compiling and analyzing data on the microstructures of a number of different plants….
War sand is sand that is a result from wartime operations. The beaches of Normandy are covered in a fine dust of particles resulting from…
The analysis of the weapons used by the indigenous people of the Gilbert Islands in the central Pacific Ocean, which primarily use shark teeth, indicates…
New evidence, presented as fossilized skulls, has been discovered that seems to imply that three different and distinct species belonging to the genus Homo existed…
A team of scientists has taken a step forward in understanding the cause of dyslexia and for developing potential treatments by discovering a malfunction in…
