Researchers have created a new magnetic mirror-based device that could one day help cosmologists discover new details about ripples in space-time known as…
“Curiosity-driven research” is what Kortz calls his approach. “We try to produce new compounds. Initially, possible applications don’t play the dominant role;…
One problem, however, has been the difficulty of chemically synthesizing these biomolecules, particularly in larger ring-sizes. Current methods require a large…
“Imagine if we could make a sheet of glass, which has a two-dimensional (2D) planate shape,” says Dr. Hayato Shiba, of Tohoku University's Institute for…
Catalysts are at the heart of fuel cells-devices that convert hydrogen and oxygen to water and enough electricity to power vehicles for hundreds of miles. But…
Bringing order to disorder is key to making stronger and greener cement, the paste that binds concrete.
Porous crystals called metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) consist of metallic intersections with organic molecules as connecting elements. Thanks to their high…
This James Bond-esque chip is closer to reality because of a new development in a nanomaterial developed by Yuebing Zheng, a professor of mechanical…
Developed by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and colleagues from three other institutions, the technique provides a new way of inducing…
Process analytical techniques – a promising sector
Waseda University researchers have developed a new method for producing hydrogen, which is fast, irreversible, and takes place at much lower temperature using…
A University of California, Riverside assistant professor has combined photosynthesis and physics to make a key discovery that could help make solar cells more…
Working with colleagues at Stanford and The Dow Chemical Company, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign fabricated 3-D birefringent…
A Waseda University (Tokyo) research group has developed a polymer which can store hydrogen in a light, compact and flexible sheet, and is safe to touch even…
The dazzling colors of peacock feathers arise from the physical interaction of light with biological nanostructures. Researchers have discovered how to exploit…
A new, ultrathin film that is both transparent and highly conductive to electric current has been produced by a cheap and simple method devised by an…
