A new study by researchers at the University of California, San Diego and the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom found these sticky spots are…
Understanding the arrangement of atoms in a solid — one of solids’ fundamental properties — is vital to advanced materials research. For decades, two camps of…
Semiconductors have revolutionized computing because of their efficient control over the flow of electrical currents on a single chip, which has led to devices…
When looking to produce the tiny semiconductor components used in electronic devices, photolithography is the process of choice. It not only provides…
One-atom-thick sheets of carbon — known as graphene — have a range of electronic properties that scientists are investigating for potential use in novel…
Technologist Mahmooda Sultana, who joined NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., two years ago and has since emerged as Goddard’s go-to expert…
In a cover article published in Green Chemistry, the research team describes a process that ultimately transforms the lignin byproduct into a thermoplastic – a…
By using common materials found pretty much anywhere there is dirt, a team of Michigan State University researchers have developed a new thermoelectric…
High pressures and temperatures – natural or artificial – can change the properties of carbon, and graphite becomes diamond. Researchers at the INM – Leibniz…
Unfortunately, creating synthetic zeolites is very complex. Researchers at KU Leuven, Ghent University and the University of Antwerp have discovered a way to…
Researchers used a laser to form slender half-centimeter-long fingers out of the tape. When exposed to water, the four wispy fingers morph into a tiny robotic…
Called BRIGHTs, the tiny probes described in the online issue of Advanced Materials on Nov. 15, bind to biomarkers of disease and, when swept by an infrared…
IMRE and Cima NanoTech are collaborating to develop new transparent conductive materials and components, based on Cima’s SANTE™ Technology[1] and IMRE’s…
Researchers at the Nanoelectronics Research Institute of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), in joint work with a NIMS…
As airplanes fly through clouds of super-cooled water droplets, areas around the nose, the leading edges of the wings, and the engine cones experience low…
All initial studies on the sample conducted at Mid Sweden University (including the resilience and microscopy examination) support the claims that this first…
