Stem cells can be coaxed to grow into new bone or new cartilage better and faster when given the right molecular cues and room inside a water-loving gel,…
The same material that formed the first primitive transistors more than 60 years ago can be modified in a new way to advance future electronics, according to a…
Geckos are known for their sticky adhesive toes that allow them to stick to, climb on, and run along surfaces in any orientation–even upside down! But until…
Commercial laser printers typically produce pin-sharp images with spots of ink about 20 micrometers apart, resulting in a resolution of 1,200 dots per inch…
Many devices used in everyday life — whether they be televisions, mobile phones or barcode scanners — are based on the manipulation of electric currents and…
The ORNL research team documented the atoms' unique behavior by first trapping groups of silicon atoms, known as clusters, in a single-atom-thick sheet of…
