Fullerite generally is a molecular crystal with fullerene molecules at its lattice nodes. Fullerenes are a form of molecular carbon where carbon atoms form a…
What's needed are new lightweight, energy-saving composites that won't crack or break even after prolonged exposure to environmental or structural stress. To…
Five years ago, the world started to talk about third-generation solar cells that challenged the traditional silicon cells with a cheaper and simpler…
Scientists have synthesised the first transparent sample of a popular industrial ceramic at DESY. The result is a super-hard window made of cubic silicon…
The work could overcome the problem of hydrogen alloy embrittlement that has led to catastrophic failures in major engineering and building projects.
A team of researchers, led by the University of Minnesota, has developed a groundbreaking one-step, crystal growth process for making ultra-thin layers of…
More efficient sensors are needed to be able to detect environmental pollution. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have proposed a new,…
“Imagine someone driving from Kansas City to Topeka on I-70 — it's safe to say that he must be in Lawrence at some point during the trip,” said Hui Zhao,…
Tiny micro- and nanoscale structures within a material's surface are invisible to the naked eye, but play a big role in determining a material's physical,…
A team of researchers in Japan has developed a new platform for culturing human pluripotent stem cells that provides far more control of culture conditions…
Scientists developed a technology for obtaining new metal structures by selective laser melting method.
Russian physicists with their colleagues from Europe through changing the light parameters, learned to generate quasiparticles – excitons, which were fully…
