They are characterised by nanostructured surfaces with pores measuring only a few nanometres in diameter. An international research team including Dr Daria…
As explained in a recently published study, a Penn research team was able to create high-quality graphene that is just a single atom thick over 95% of its…
Many materials, when observed over a sufficiently long period of time, show changes in their mechanical properties. The exact course of these developments…
University of Central Florida Associate Professor Lei Zhai and postdoctoral associate Jianhua Zou have engineered the world's lightest carbon material in such…
Now a team led by Jan Schroers, a materials scientist at Yale University, has shown that some recently developed bulk metallic glasses (BMGs)-metal alloys that…
A crystal consisting not of atoms but exotic swirling magnetic entities, called skyrmions, has been identified at near room-temperature by Yoshinori Tokura of…
One of the causes of the problem is short coherence time of a quantum bit in the host material. Researchers have engineered phosphorus-doped silicon to be…
Professor Maeno of Kyoto University (Kyoto, Japan) and Assistant Professor Budakian of University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign, IllinoisCUSA) were the…
Understanding the dynamic behaviors of dopant atoms in Si NWs is the key to realize low-power and high-speed transistors using Si NWs. The segregation behavior…
CNT thin-film transistors are expected to enable the fabrication of high-performance, flexible and transparent devices using relatively simple techniques….
Prior to the production of prototypes, adhesive tests have hitherto only been undertaken on coupon specimens. Researchers at Fraunhofer IWES, together with…
Nuclei are complex, well-defined organelles carrying genetic information that is critical to the cell. Visualizing these organelles through fluorescence…
Led by Jianjun Cheng, a professor of materials science and engineering at the University of Illinois, the research team will publish its findings in the Jan….
MIT engineers have designed a new type of nanoparticle that could safely and effectively deliver vaccines for diseases such as HIV and malaria. The new…
University of Michigan researcher Jinsang Kim and his colleagues have developed a new class of material that shines with phosphorescence—a property that has…
The alloy is a welding “consumable” – the material that melts under the welder’s torch to fill the gap between parts that are being joined.The new nickel alloy…
