To date only nature has been able to create organic substances from sunlight and the gas carbon dioxide, which is available in abundance in the Earth’s…
The research team of Japan's National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), RIKEN, Kobe Steel and JEOL RESONANCE successfully developed the NMR system…
When one thinks of hard x-rays and bacteria it is usually that the bacteria are at the receiving end of the x-ray source – being imaged, irradiated for some…
It’s often said that necessity is the mother of invention. Such was the case for Ames Laboratory physicist Adam Kaminski who took the research challenge he was…
However, the cost of producing efficient solar panels makes water-splitting technologies too expensive to commercialize. EPFL scientists have now developed a…
Flexing graphene may be the most basic way to control its electrical properties, according to calculations by theoretical physicists at Rice University and in…
The dream of a cleaner, greener transportation future burns brightly in the promise of hydrogen-fueled, internal combustion engine automobiles. Modern-day…
Fingerprint sensor technology currently used in smartphones like the iPhone 6 produces a two-dimensional image of a finger’s surface, which can be spoofed…
However, single-crystal devices are practically difficult to fabricate. For both fundamental studies and technological applications, high-throughput…
