Catalysts are everywhere. They make chemical reactions that normally occur at extremely high temperatures and pressures possible within factories, cars and the…
Thin and flexible glass for displays is already a widely commercialized technology. But even thinner glass, about one tenth the thickness of display glass, can…
Now a team of engineers has developed a three-dimensional hydrogel that more closely mimics conditions in the brain. In a paper in the journal Biomaterials,…
The SPM (“service platform machine”) innovation network consists of a group of companies in the machine tools and plant engineering sector who are working…
Different ultrasonic modes work best for different materials and configurations using the right one will locate more flaws with higher precision, according to…
In a first-of-its-kind clinical trial, physician-scientists at University Hospitals (UH) Case Medical Center found that sleep quality impacts skin function and…
It is quite common to find couples where one partner does not smoke while the other is a smoker who wishes to stop. What can both of them do to help achieve…
In large buildings, a great deal of energy can be saved when heating systems and other building services equipment are more precisely adjusted. For this…
Protons, as positively charged hydrogen ions, move very rapidly in water from one water molecule to the next, which is why the conductivity of water is…
A family of molecules developed at Carnegie Mellon University to break down pollutants in water is one step closer to commercial use. Study results published…
Earth science is just that, the study of the Earth. Thorough understanding of the surface expression of textbook concepts helps geoscientists provide…
The age of 3D printing, when every object so created can be personalized, will increase the need for tags to keep track of everything. Happily, the same 3D…
Conventional scientific wisdom has it that plants and other creatures have only lived on land for about 500 million years, and that landscapes of the early…
“If this starts to happen and we're right, we might be closer to the higher end of sea level rise estimates for the next 100 years,” said Jeremy Bassis,…
For the first time, scientists have direct geochemical evidence that the 150-mile long gorge, possibly the world’s deepest, was the conduit by which megafloods…
Rice University nanotechnology researchers have unveiled a solar-powered sterilization system that could be a boon for more than 2.5 billion people who lack…
