Displays for smartphones or tablet-PCs should be highly ruggedized at little overall weight. For curved displays, that might play a role in advertising or the…
“Brain tumors are one of the world's deadliest diseases,” said Mohammad Reza Abidian, assistant professor of bioengineering, chemical engineering and materials…
When the wing of an aircraft “feels” a threatening load or metal foams become as lightweight and solid as our bones, you know materials scientists had their…
The U of A discovery, several years in the making, is an important step forward in making solar power more accessible to parts of the world that are off the…
Protein-based drugs show promising activity against many hard-to-treat targets. Getting these biomolecules past the body’s numerous defenses, however, requires…
Semiconductor nanostructures are poised to play a big role in future solar-powered hydrogen generation systems, according to a new study by researchers at the…
Scientists have recently started to explore the possibility of using an intrinsic property of the electron known as spin for processing and storing…
Eijiro Miyako and colleagues explain that Morpho butterfly wings have natural properties that are beyond the capabilities of any current technology to…
Now, a consortium of researchers from Constance, Bayreuth, and Berlin has successfully used this plastic to synthesize the ideal polymer nanocrystal. The…
Move over, silicon. In a breakthrough in the quest for the next generation of computers and materials, researchers at USC have solved a longstanding challenge…
Understanding what happens to a material as it undergoes phase transformations – changes from a solid to a liquid to a gas or a plasma – is of fundamental…
Led by scientists at Royal Holloway University, the team conducted a series of experiments on crystals of sodium cobaltate grown in the University's Department…
Dye-sensitized solar cells are thin, flexible, easy to make and very good at turning sunshine into electricity. However, a key ingredient is one of the most…
Researchers from Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), Georgia Institute of Technology and Dong-Eui University have developed a novel…
Applications for superconducting wires, which carry electricity without resistance when cooled to a critical temperature, include underground transmission…
MIT researchers have developed a lightweight structure whose tiny blocks can be snapped together much like the bricks of a child's construction toy. The new…
