A single polymer that can be used in both new age plastic electronics as well as plastic solar cells could spell greater cost-savings and open up new design…
After a period of recovery over the past 20 years, indigenous bird populations of Kazakhstan’s unique feather-grass steppe are now facing new declines. This is…
Their proposed design runs on so little energy that batteries are not even necessary; it could run merely by tapping the ambient energy from the environment.Rather than the traditional charge-based electronic switches that encode the basic 0s and 1s of computer lingo, spintronics harnesses the natural spin – either up or down – of electrons to store bits of data. Spin one way and you get a 0; switch the spin the other way – typically by applying a magnetic field or by a spin-polarized current pulse – and you get a 1. During switching, spintronics uses considerably less energy than charge-based electronics. …
“We have known for a long time that blood vessels branch to give rise to new ones and that in some places of our bodies this branching occurs with a…
A metamaterial is a structure engineered from a variety of substances that, when put together, yield optical properties that do not exist in nature. In this…
Today, some parents find themselves having a battle in the cereal aisle. Recognizable characters and logos prompt children to make repeated requests for a…
Scientists from the Oceanographic Center’s National Coral Reef Institute (NCRI) will be examining 22 pallets of confiscated corals for research, educational,…
