Soft and flexible materials called halide perovskites could make solar cells more efficient at significantly less cost, but they're too unstable to use.
To understand how planetary systems, including our own, take shape, you have to study their origins. Planet-forming or protoplanetary disks are formed in…
Carbohydrates are the most dominant biopolymers on earth. Polysaccharides such as cellulose are the building materials for plants and shells of chitin protect…
Polymetallic nodules and crusts cover many thousands of square kilometres of the world's deep-sea floor. They contain mainly manganese and iron, but also the…
Scientists have never before succeeded in making so-called skyrmions – 100 nanometre small vortex structures that occur in magnetic material – visible in 3D….
Selective LED-based melting (SLEDM) – i.e. the targeted melting of metal powder using high-power LED light sources – is the name of the new technology that a…
Anyone who has ever recorded a video knows that the camera must be held still so that the images do not blur. On the other hand, we always perceive a stable…
The care industry in Germany is facing numerous challenges: Apart from a continuing shortage of staff, the strains on medical workers have also been increasing…
Rutgers engineers have created a highly effective way to paint complex 3D-printed objects, such as lightweight frames for aircraft and biomedical stents, that…
The same material you'll find at the tip of a pencil–graphite–has long been a key component in today's lithium-ion batteries. As our reliance on these…
When it began observations in 2000, TAMA300 was one of the world's first large-scale interferometric gravitational wave detectors. At that time TAMA300 had the…
Researchers from China Academy of Engineering Physics, Nanjing University and University of Victoria demonstrated ultra-sensitive and stable X-ray detectors by…
On the evening of 5 August 2013, a startling event occurred deep in the remote interior of the United States' largest national park. A half-kilometer-long…
Our immune system not only protects us against infection, but also against cancer. This powerful protection is based in particular on the activation of special…
Hubble identified about 30 fragments on April 20, and 25 pieces on April 23. They are all enveloped in a sunlight-swept tail of cometary dust.
At the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command's Army Research Laboratory, in collaboration with the University of Maryland, scientists may have…
