Could a substance that resembles baby powder curb global carbon emissions?Wake Forest University researchers believe so, and a new Department of Energy (DOE)…
“For the average American consumer, 3D printing is ready for showtime,” said Associate Professor Joshua Pearce.3D printers deposit multiple layers of plastic…
Known as “giant surfactants” – or surface films and liquid solutions – the researchers, led by Stephen Z.D. Cheng, dean of UA's College of Polymer Science and…
Different ultrasonic modes work best for different materials and configurations using the right one will locate more flaws with higher precision, according to…
Thin and flexible glass for displays is already a widely commercialized technology. But even thinner glass, about one tenth the thickness of display glass, can…
A new milestone by engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, can help robots become more touchy-feely, literally. A research team led by Ali Javey,…
If you squeeze a normal object in all directions, it shrinks in all directions. But a few strange materials will actually grow in one dimension when…
Flexible electronics have a wide variety of possibilities, from bendable displays and batteries to medical implants that move with the body. “Essentially the…
It describes the synthesis of nanodiamonds by the detonation of nanostructured explosive charges thus obtaining nanodiamond particles of a size comprised…
Engineers from Brown University have mapped out the amounts of compression required to cause wrinkles, creases, and folds to form in rubbery materials. The…
Stimuli-responsive or ‘smart’ polymeric nanofibers have attracted increasing attention. The nanoscale structures give rise to high sensitivity to stimuli while…
Chemists at Boston College and Nagoya University in Japan have synthesized the first example of a new form of carbon, the team reports in the most recent…
Published in the journal Advanced Optical Materials, the researchers describe a novel structure which traps terahertz waves in tiny (micro-scale) holes to…
That presents an obstacle to further progress in, for example, creating better solar cells or lighting devices, where quantum dots offer unique advantages that…
A 3-D rendering of a gas diffusion electrode, used in fuel cells and CO2 electrolyzers, where a thin, uniform, and crack-free catalyst layer is crucial to…
