Indium tin oxide, the transparent conductor that is currently used for more than 90 percent of the display market, has been the dominant material for the past…
It has often been said that nature is history's greatest innovator and if that is true then scientists with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Lawrence…
The team – comprising researchers from Japan's Tohoku University, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Stanford University in USA and University of British…
A new class of superhydrophobic nanomaterials might simplify the process of protecting surfaces from water.
This makes it a material of choice for use in the transportation and machinery industries, which rely on cast iron's resistance to wear, deformation, and…
Never mind the ABCs. Rice University scientists interested in nanotubes are studying their XYΩs.
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have now created the thinnest plates that can be picked up and manipulated by hand.
There is probably no other chemical reaction that is as productive as photosynthesis —a biological process that uses light energy and water to convert CO2 into…
Now, scientists collaborating in project HOP-X have succeeded in developing new materials for detectors: they embedded ceramic particles in a conductive…
A collaborative international team consisting of two experimental groups, led by Professor Geoffrey Nash from the University of Exeter and Professor Jérôme…
But now a research team, led by engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, has found a simple way to fix…
The new form of iron oxide (FeO) is a metallic crystal with virtually no defects, a unique conglomerate of electrical and magnetic characteristics, and atoms…
They have found important applications as essential components of the Large Hadron Collider particle accelerator at CERN, levitating trains, and the magnetic…
In certain nanomaterials, electrons are able to race through custom-built roadways just one atom wide. To achieve excellent efficiency, these one-dimensional…
“In the physical sciences, making measurements can be time consuming and so you don't want to make unnecessary ones,” said Venkat Gopalan, professor of…
“When solid materials such as nanocrystals, bulk metallic glasses, rocks, or granular materials are slowly deformed by compression or shear, they slip…
