The improvement concerns a conductive oxide film which now has more transparency in the infrared region. Similar attempts had been made before, but this is the…
Dendrites – the microscopic, pin-like fibers that cause rechargeable batteries to short circuit – create fire hazards and can limit the ability of batteries to…
Graphene – a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon with highly desirable electrical properties, flexibility and strength – shows great promise for future electronics,…
The new findings depict three distinct stages of evolution in groups of gold nanorods from the initial rod-shape to the intermediate-shape to a sphere-shaped…
A computational technique to analyze how water vapor condenses on a surface patterned with an array of tiny pillars has been co-developed by an A*STAR…
In doing so, the teams enhanced our understanding of processes that are important for future TMR data storage devices and other spintronic components. Their…
Compact, sensitive and fast nanodetectors are considered to be somewhat of a “Holy Grail” sought by many researchers around the world. And now a team of…
Currently, photoelectric smoke sensors detect larger smoke particles found in dense smoke, but are not as sensitive to small particles of smoke from rapidly…
“Fundamentally, intrinsic strains on crumpled graphene could allow modulation of electrical and optical properties of graphene,” explained SungWoo Nam, an…
Although most materials slightly expand when heated, there is a new class of rubber-like material that not only self-stretches upon cooling; it reverts back to…
The future of electronics could lie in a material from its past, as researchers from The Ohio State University work to turn germanium–the material of 1940s…
Scientists used supercomputers to find a new class of materials that possess an exotic state of matter known as the quantum spin Hall effect. The researchers…
Imagine thousands of copies of a single protein organizing into a coat of chainmail armor that protects the wearer from harsh and ever-changing environmental…
Incredibly tough, slightly stretchy spider silk is a lightweight, biodegradable wonder material with numerous potential biomedical applications. But although…
'Antiaromatic compounds' is what chemists call a class of ring molecules which are extremely instable — the opposite of the highly stable aromatic…
By developing electrochromic polymer materials in a range of primary and secondary colors and combining them in specific blends, the researchers have covered…
