Such materials are not new, but the researchers found a novel way of harnessing that property to create a mask with exceptionally fine lines of transparency….
Additionally, the study shows that this flow of heat from one material to another, in this case one solid and one liquid, can be dramatically altered by…
“This new product supports our strategy to put science to work in ways that help reduce oil consumption and greenhouse gas emissions,” said Dave Ritchey,…
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has recently received research funding totaling more than $9 million from the Research Grants Council (RGC), the…
Experts believe that graphene — the sheet-like form of carbon found in graphite pencils — holds the key to smaller, faster electronics. It might also deliver…
It also adds anti-intrusion security, sound reduction and protection from UV rays. Two common types of interlayer for laminated glass are films made of…
Building on the idea of using DNA to link up nanoparticles – particles measuring mere billionths of a meter – scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's…
This is the tale of two biological substances-cells from mammals and bacteria. It's a story about the havoc these microscopic entities can wreak on all manner…
It is 6 p.m. and the museum is closing down for the night. The building’s alarm system is switched on and the security guard does his rounds.A novel motion…
The process to turn propane into industrially necessary propylene has been expensive and environmentally unfriendly. That was until scientists at U.S….
Researchers at Rice University have created a metamaterial that could light the way toward high-powered optics, ultra-efficient solar cells and even cloaking…
Experimental and theoretical efforts were combined in a synergistic approach and the results, published this week in the ASAP section of the journal Nano…
New research from Rice University and the University of Oulu in Oulu, Finland, finds that carbon nanotubes could significantly improve the performance of…
The work, by a team led by associate professor of chemistry Adam Matzger, is described in a paper published online March 6 in the Journal of the American…
Although the structure of regular ice is well known at the macroscale, its structures are much more mysterious and less well understood at the nanoscale -…
Moreover, advanced composites reinforced with nanotubes are also more than one million times more electrically conductive than their counterparts without…
