Fuels made from agricultural or forestry wastes known as lignocellulosic biomass have long been a champion in the quest to reduce use of fossil fuels. But…
The family of 2D materials has recently been joined by a new class, the monolayers of oxides and carbides of transition metals, which have been the subject of…
When two mesh screens are overlaid, beautiful patterns appear when one screen is offset. These “moiré patterns” have long intrigued artists, scientists and…
Previous circuits on chips rely on electrons as the information carriers. In the future, photons which transmit information at the speed of light will be able…
Decontaminating the legacy of uranium mining in the GDR
The new worlds orbit a star named GJ 357, an M-type dwarf about one-third the Sun's mass and size and about 40% cooler that our star. The system is located 31…
First observation of excitonic insulator
New exotic state was first predicted in 1960s
For example, the introduction of sacrificial templates can impart porosity to the materials encapsulating them after the removal of embedded materials….
Engineers have for the first time created a simulator mimicking the mechanical behaviour of the human torso – which could lead to innovations in the design of…
Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists have developed a new quantum computing algorithm that offers a clearer understanding of the quantum-to-classical…
Scientists from Northwestern University and Caltech have produced electricity by simply flowing water over extremely thin layers of inexpensive metals,…
Finding a material which superconducts at room temperature would lead to a technological revolution, alleviate the energy crisis (as nowadays most energy is…
New research published in Molecular Cell on 31 July 2019 conducted by researchers from the University of Konstanz’s Collaborative Research Centre 969 “Chemical…
TESS Object of Interest (TOI) 270 is a faint, cool star more commonly identified by its catalog name: UCAC4 191-004642. The M-type dwarf star is about 40%…
How about this one? There was a rose with metal traces printed on a delicate petal.
Working with mouse and human tissue, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers report new evidence that a protein pumped out of some — but not all — populations of…
