The material, described in the journal Advanced Materials, forms a new class of shape-memory polymers, which are materials that can be stretched to a new shape…
However, in reality it is often completely different: red becomes magenta or grey changes to yellow-grey. A properly defined colour reproduction may be often…
The agreement will be signed between the School of Engineering, University of Queensland (UQ) and the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Queen's…
MIT engineers have designed the first simple process for manufacturing materials that strongly repel oils. The material, which can be applied as a flexible…
As devices shrink, the proportion of surface area grows in comparison to the material's volume. Therefore, it's important to understand the characteristics of…
Computers and electronic devices of the future will utilise technologies not currently available. An example of such a technology is the use of carbon…
Nanotechnology is area if science that has recently captured the attention of people all around the world. At the heart of the nanotechnology revolution are…
There is nothing new about combining two materials to make a composite material with more desirable properties than the originals. Fibreglass has been a…
Carbon nanotubes have long been touted as the wonder material of the future but their wonder properties can also be their downfall. The non reactive nature of…
Imagine machines smaller than microscopic in size working around us, in us and for us. Imagine them seeking out diseases, cleaning the environment and making…
Just as silicon is the wonder material for the computer age, carbon nanotubes will most likely be the materials responsible for the next evolutionary step in…
Biological and physical studies on DNA structure have revealed considerable interest into the electronic properties of DNA. Part of this interest is in using…
CDM (Controlled Delaminating Materials) is a solution based on a special adhesive which enables opening packages with the help of an electric current.In the…
Argonne physicist Chris Benmore and postdoctoral appointee Qiang Mei, along with colleagues at the University of Arizona, used microscopic laser-perforated…
Bellave S. Shivaram and Adam B. Phillips, the U.Va. physicists who invented the new materials, will present their finding at 8 p.m., Monday, Nov. 12, at the…
