Railway wheels are exposed to great dynamic stress. For this reason, they need to be subjected to non-destructive testing during the manufacturing process with…
The arrival of a thin and lightweight computer that even rolls up like a piece of paper will not be in the far distant future. Flexible organic light-emitting…
The technique, developed by researchers at the Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry in a collaborative project, employs the metal palladium, which interacts…
In microsystems metallic components are increasingly being replaced by those from low-cost polymers. For the thickness measurement of polymers, there is now…
Using a new method called Bend-Induced-Oscillatory-Shearing (BIOS), the researchers are now able to produce hundreds of metres of these materials, known as…
Ion exchange membranes are used in many types of energy applications, such as fuel cells and certain batteries, as well as in water purification, desalination,…
Mantis shrimp are available in the lab and can be photographed or videoed.
A team of American and Chinese researchers has developed a new tool that could aid in the quest for better batteries and fuel cells.
David Deepwell, a graduate student, and Professor Marek Stastna in Waterloo's Faculty of Mathematics have created a 3-D simulation that showcases how materials…
One of the most striking discoveries of quantum information theory is the existence of problems that can be solved in a more efficient way with quantum…
Ideally, steels and steel-related alloys should be capable of both properties: they should not fragment, for example during processing in a mill or as car…
The starting point for IWM researchers Wolfgang Körner, Georg Krugel, and Christian Elsässer was a neodymium-iron-nitrogen compound based on a type of…
“We looked at what is common among squid teeth proteins for all species of squid we studied,” said Abdon Pena-Francesch, graduate student in engineering…
In 2010 the Nobel Prize in physics was awarded for the discovery of the exceptional material graphene, which consists of a single layer of carbon atoms…
Quantum mechanics is the field of physics governing the behavior of things on atomic scales, where things work very differently from our everyday world.
