The customers want business jets to be nice inside; the aviation safety authorities want the furnishings to be fireproof. And the jet must never stand around…
Squeezing light into tiny circuits and controlling its flow electrically is a holy grail that has become a realistic scenario thanks to the discovery of…
Researchers from the University of Exeter have discovered that GraphExeter – a material adapted from the 'wonder material' graphene – can withstand prolonged…
The interplay between the lipid spheres, called giant vesicles, and the strands of DNA produces a unique response when the material is exposed to changes in…
The oil industry is heading north. It is said that 30 per cent of remaining gas, and 13 per cent of remaining oil, reserves are to be found in the Arctic….

Graphene “cut and paste” with metal nanoparticles was carried out under microwave irradiation. The study revealed unique processes occurring on the carbon…
Windows that change their light permeability at the touch of a button, façades, whose color can be changed according to the sunlight, façades and window parts…
A new catalyst could have dramatic environmental benefits if it can live up to its potential, suggests research from Singapore. A*STAR researchers have…
Scientists have found the first direct evidence that a mysterious phase of matter known as the “pseudogap” competes with high-temperature superconductivity,…
Among the most revolutionary concepts of modern physics is that the laws of nature are inherently non-local. One striking manifestation of this non-locality…
Millions of fireworks will be ignited again on this New Year’s Eve to welcome the New Year. The noise of fireworks is supposed to ward off evil spirits – a…
A great deal of scientific research has been carried out on minimizing wear in metal-based systems. Most of this work focused on the phenomenological level….
Inspired by the interaction of opals with light, Dr. Alexander Kühne investigates and develops artificial opals for future applications in the fields of…
This property could have implications in spintronics, an emerging technology promoted by the European Union to create advanced computational systems.
