The cell is a host of many complex reaction pathways. These pathways usually do not interfere with each other because they are contained within membrane-bound…
A University of Minnesota team of researchers has overcome a major hurdle in the quest to design a specialized type of molecular sieve that could make the…
Long bones, for instance, consist of a compact, solid outer casing filled with spongy tissue, which makes them particularly strong and resilient. Researchers…
Scientists at the University of Gothenburg have shown that it is instead possible to mix into the coating molecules on which the adult barnacles cannot grow….
Now, researchers at the Beckman Institute have demonstrated that an active pumping capability for pressurized delivery of liquid healing agents in…
The smaller the size of the nanoparticle, the greater the speed at which the hydrogen gas makes its way to the fuel cell. The researchers publish their…
By combining their own observations with background gleaned from materials science, NIST semiconductor researchers have found a way to create unique features…
Furthermore, the findings, which are published now in “Scientific Reports”, provide a basis for the possible production of single crystals of alpha-boron with…
Due to the earth abundance of carbon, carbon nanotubes have the potential to boost the long-term viability of solar power by providing a cost-efficient option…
This success was achieved under the support of JST and by the collaboration among Tohoku University, JAEA, and Technische Universitaet Kaiserslautern in…
ORNL’s Volker Urban and colleagues at Technical University Aachen in Germany noticed the reverse piezoelectric effect – defined as creating a mechanical strain…
The basic principle for growing thin layers of graphene on silicon carbide requires heating the material to about 1,500 degrees Celsius under high vacuum. The…
Scientists from the Georgia Institute of Technology have for the first time provided details of their “confinement controlled sublimation” technique for…
Materials scientists at the University of Washington have built a novel transistor that uses protons, creating a key piece for devices that can communicate…
The unit set the record in the Research Area “Creative research for clean energy generation using solar energy” (Research Supervisor: Masafumi Yamaguchi,…
A research group led by Dr. Yoshiyuki Furuya, a Senior Researcher of the Materials Reliability Unit, National Institute for Materials Science, succeeded in the…
