Mathematical description delivers new insights
Their wings allow cicadas to fly, of course, but they also are good at repelling water – a condition that humans can appreciate, too.
After bending, the tetrapods automatically retain its original shape, without suffering any damage. This makes advanced applications conceivable, both in…
“This is part of a series of work we have done in our lab on high-temperature dielectrics for use in capacitors,” said Qing Wang, professor of materials…
Today cemented carbide is the most commonly used material for industrial cutting tools. This is thanks to its combination of tungsten carbide and cobalt. While…
A pair of engineers at the University of Delaware has developed a process to form interwoven polymer networks more easily, quickly and sustainably than…
The new research, published July 28 in Science, is expected to make such materials easily available for eventual use in everything from LED displays to…
Theoretical physicists led by Professor Kurt Binder and Dr. Arash Nikoubashman at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) in Germany have used computer…
Researchers at Kyoto University's Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS) and the University of Tokyo have developed a light-responsive…
At first glance, the proximity sensor appears to be nothing special: a thin, elastic layer of silicone onto which black square surfaces are printed, but these…
That is the result of a new process that naturally produces patterned monolayers that can act as a base for creating a wide variety of novel materials with…
The Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT in Aachen is coordinating this project, which is being funded by the EU as part of the Horizon 2020 program.
In order to send, receive, and process electromagnetic signals, antennas are used. An antenna is a device capable of effectively transmitting, picking up, and…
Rice University scientists have determined that no matter how large or small a piece of tobermorite is, it will respond to loading forces in precisely the same…
Their approach was based on applying a complex light-refracting coating, designed to display stress positions, to the surface of concrete beam samples.
Microscopic versions of the cocoons spun by silkworms have been manufactured by a team of researchers. The tiny capsules, which are invisible to the naked eye,…
