Move over, graphene. An atomically thin, two-dimensional, ultrasensitive semiconductor material for biosensing developed by researchers at UC Santa…
A new concept in metallic alloy design – called “high‐entropy alloys” – has yielded a multiple-element material that not only tests out as one of the toughest…
Conventional photovoltaic technology uses large, heavy, opaque, dark silicon panels, but this could soon change. The IK4-Ikerlan research centre is working…
A team of researchers at Washington University in St. Louis, led by Lan Yang, PhD, the Das Family Career Development Associate Professor in Electrical &…
Making something new is never easy. Scientists constantly theorize about new materials, but when the material is manufactured it doesn’t always work as…
The Missouri S&T researchers describe their method in a paper published Thursday (Aug. 28, 2014) on the website of the journal ACS Nano. The researchers’…
Glass has many applications that call for different properties, such as resistance to thermal shock or to chemically harsh environments. Glassmakers commonly…
Researchers at the University of Milan in Italy have shown that a synthetic protein called AGMA1 has the potential to promote the adhesion of brain cells in a…
Magnetic refrigeration is attracting attention as an efficient way to chill sensitive scientific instruments. This refrigeration method exploits the…
The University of Washington researchers have demonstrated that two of these single-layer semiconductor materials can be connected in an atomically seamless…
A new argument has just been added to the growing case for graphene being bumped off its pedestal as the next big thing in the high-tech world by the…
“For biological testing we often need to do cell separation before analysis,” said Tony Jun Huang, professor of engineering science and mechanics. “But if the…
The study published in Advanced Materials provides experimental evidence that local magnetic fluctuations can influence the performance of iron-based…
It is called a transparent luminescent solar concentrator and can be used on buildings, cell phones and any other device that has a clear surface.
Electronic devices with unprecedented efficiency and data storage may someday run on ferroelectrics—remarkable materials that use built-in electric…
MIT chemical engineers have devised a new implantable tissue scaffold coated with bone growth factors that are released slowly over a few weeks. When applied…
