“We call our hybrid material 'infused CMF,'” says Afsaneh Rabiei, corresponding author of a paper on the work and a professor of mechanical and aerospace…
Similar to origami, the more well-known art of paper-folding, kirigami involves cutting in addition to folding. The team led by SungWoo Nam, associate…
The researchers are proposing both accelerated procedures in processing and in the characterisation of fire behaviour. The numerous investigations within the…
The expansion of electro-mobility requires electric cars to have longer ranges. Lightweight materials with optimized material properties can help put this into…
Results published in Nature Communications report the first example of a lipid-based “memcapacitor,” a charge storage component with memory that processes…
A jacket that silences incoming calls when its sleeve is plucked. A bandage that sounds an alarm when the joint is bent too much. These are two of many…
A phenomenon that has previously been seen when researchers simulate the properties of planet cores at extreme pressures has now also been observed in pure…
The Bayreuth team, led by Dr. Dominique Laniel, has stored a mixture of metallic magnesium (Mg) and nitrogen (N₂) in a diamond anvil cell. They then subjected…
A new material that can selectively capture carbon dioxide (CO2) molecules and efficiently convert them into useful organic materials has been developed by…
The starting point is the relatively easy customizable 3D printing technology. Disadvantages of three-dimensional printing so far, however, were the disturbing…
Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new layered superconducting material with a conducting layer made of bismuth, silver, tin, sulfur…
The project is set up in an international cooperation with Professor Anders Biel from Karlstad University in Sweden and the Swedish company Lamera from…
Producing functional fabrics that perform all the functions we want, while retaining the characteristics of fabric we're accustomed to is no easy task.
Transparent conductive films (TCFs) have many applications in touch screens, organic light emitting diodes and solar cells. These applications need materials…
The so-called “graphite” has unique structural, mechanical and thermal properties and could serve as a centimetre-thin catalyst for industry in the future. The…
Why are the lightweight silk threads of web spiders tougher than most other materials? Scientists from the Universities of Würzburg and Mainz teamed up to find…
