More than a century after the identification of organisms that cause tuberculosis (TB), this disease remains a global public health challenge. According to…
One of the most common methods to protect buried infrastructure—such as oil and gas transmission pipelines —from corrosion is the application of an external…
The innovative nanotechnology uses non-biodegradable plastic grocery bags to make 'carbon nanotube membranes' – highly sophisticated and expensive materials…
Superconductors are metals which can conduct current even without any resistance, although only far below room temperature. Semiconductors, the foundation of…
But at nanometer-size scales for water and potentially other fluids, whether the container is made of glass or plastic does make a significant difference. A…
A lot of energy is wasted when machines turn hot, unnecessarily heating up their environment. Some of this thermal energy could be harvested using…
The Missouri S&T researchers also plan to fabricate some of these new materials soon, says Dr. Frank Liou, director of the university’s Laser Aided…
This approach combines top-down advanced ink-jet printing technology with a bottom-up approach that involves self-assembling block copolymers, a type of…
Metal cutting operations play an especially important role in modern industrial production processes. Based on the tremendous development of multi-axis machine…
A team of scientists from Columbia University’s School of Engineering and Applied Science and the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National…
Before now most research seeking to influence the direction of motion of microscopic components have had to use outside influences such as a magnetic field or…
What can the U.S. military learn from a common squid? A lot about how to hide from enemies, according to researchers at UC Irvine’s Henry Samueli School of…
The new patch can quicken drug delivery time while cutting waste, and can likely minimize side-effects in some cases, notable in vaccinations and cancer…
DNA is the blueprint for life. Could it also become the template for making a new generation of computer chips based not on silicon, but on an experimental…
You can’t saw without producing sawdust – and that can be expensive if, for example, the “dust” comes from wafer manufacturing in the photovoltaic and…
Scientists have long suspected that the difference has to do with the hierarchical architecture of the biological materials—the way the silica-based skeletons…
