The Brazilian fern Salvinia molesta has proliferated around the Americas and Australia in part because its surface is dotted with oddly shaped hairs that trap…
“This is a novel application of existing materials, and has potential for rapid, high-volume manufacturing processes or packaging applications,” says Dr….
University of Toronto materials science and engineering (MSE) researchers have demonstrated for the first time the key mechanism behind how energy levels align…
Professor Tim Bender and Ph.D. Candidate Graham Morse of U of T’s Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry have uncovered compounds that…
Memory is an essential part in electronic systems, as it is used for data processing, information storage and communication with external devices. Therefore,…
Giant flakes of graphene oxide in water aggregate like a stack of pancakes, but infinitely thinner, and in the process gain characteristics that materials…
The study resolves some of the discrepancies found between experimental results from previously published studies and highlights that processing and molecular…
So far, little has been understood about the underlying atomic-scale principles. In cooperation with researchers at the universities of Münster and Gießen as…
It's a basic technique learned early, maybe even before kindergarten: Pulling things apart – from toy cars to complicated electronic materials – can reveal a…
In the developing field of spintronics, physicists are designing devices to transmit data using the inherent axial rotation, or spin, of electrons rather than…
A novel type of fabric that can absorb water and perspiration on one side and transport it to the other has been invented by a team of textile scientists based…
It’s like packing your clothes in your suitcase when you travel. The neater you pack them the more you can carry. In the same way, the team of scientists has…
Scientists at Northwestern University have developed a new nanomaterial that can “steer” electrical currents. The development could lead to a computer that can…
Travesset, an associate professor of physics and astronomy and an associate of the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory, writes in the journal's…
Nature is a master builder. Using a bottom-up approach, nature takes tiny atoms and, through chemical bonding, makes crystalline materials, like diamonds,…
The ever-increasing demand for enhanced performance in electronic devices such as solar cells, sensors and batteries is matched by a need to find ways to make…
