Because individual atoms or molecules are 100 to 1000 times smaller than the wavelength of visible light, it is notoriously difficult to collect information about…
For many engineers and scientists, nature is the world’s greatest muse. They seek to better understand natural processes that have evolved over millions of years,…
Atomically thin materials are a promising alternative to silicon-based transistors; now researchers can connect them more efficiently to other chip elements. Moore’s Law, the famous…
Researchers have used a technique similar to MRI to follow the movement of individual atoms in real time as they cluster together to form two-dimensional…
Inspired by nature, researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), along with collaborators from Washington State University, created a novel material capable of capturing light…
New Evidence for Electron’s Dual Nature Found in a Quantum Spin Liquid Results from a Princeton-led experiment support a controversial theory that the electron is…
Soldiers, athletes, and motorists could lead safer lives thanks to a new process that could lead to more efficient and re-useable protection from shock and…
Hydrogels merge two physical forms of the same seaweed material for strength, flexibility. 3D-printable gels with improved and highly controlled properties can be created by…
A Streamlined Approach to Determining Thermal Properties of Crystalline Solids and Alloys MIT research team finds machine learning techniques offer big advantages over standard experimental…
Known as “pair-density waves,” it may be key to understanding how superconductivity can exist at relatively high temperatures. Unconventional superconductors contain a number of exotic…
A novel technique for studying vortices in quantum fluids has been developed by Lancaster physicists. Andrew Guthrie, Sergey Kafanov, Theo Noble, Yuri Pashkin, George Pickett,…
Excitons are quasiparticles that can transport energy through solid substances. This makes them important for the development of future materials and devices — but more…
Bamboo cricket bats are stronger, offer a better ‘sweet spot’ and deliver more energy to the ball than those made from traditional willow, tests conducted…
Since it was first introduced in 2016, transparent wood has been developed by researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology as an innovative structural material…
Study explores the mechanical properties of these materials as they evolve from elastic gels to glassy solids. Researchers at MIT have developed a new method…
New research shows that it might be a good idea to look for inspiration in nature when designing load-bearing foundations for buildings. Despite human inventiveness…
How can I prepare myself for something I do not yet know? Scientists from the Fritz Haber Institute in Berlin and from the Technical University…
