Previous efforts focusing on the nanofluidic energy conversion system mainly deal with the isothermal conditions. Conventional viewpoint suggests that…
The researchers measured the thickness of the gold to be 0.47 nanometres – that is one million times thinner than a human finger nail. The material is regarded…
Finding a material which superconducts at room temperature would lead to a technological revolution, alleviate the energy crisis (as nowadays most energy is…
Scientists from Northwestern University and Caltech have produced electricity by simply flowing water over extremely thin layers of inexpensive metals,…
For example, the introduction of sacrificial templates can impart porosity to the materials encapsulating them after the removal of embedded materials….
First observation of excitonic insulator
New exotic state was first predicted in 1960s
When two mesh screens are overlaid, beautiful patterns appear when one screen is offset. These “moiré patterns” have long intrigued artists, scientists and…
The family of 2D materials has recently been joined by a new class, the monolayers of oxides and carbides of transition metals, which have been the subject of…
How about this one? There was a rose with metal traces printed on a delicate petal.
When is a circle less stable than a jagged loop? Apparently when you're talking about carbon nanotubes.
Solar panel installations are on the rise in the U.S., with more than 2 million new installations in early 2019, the most ever recorded in a first quarter,…
Heart valves regulate the blood flow, to ensure the body is supplied with enough blood. If they don’t close properly any more, for example due to a heart…
Research from Swansea University has found how plastics commonly found in food packaging can be recycled to create new materials like wires for electricity -…
Wood-fiber materials are already being frequently used in the construction industry. The products used until now, such as fiberboard or oriented strand board,…
The possibility of finding a compound that was metallically conductive, super-hard, and ultra-incompressible was long considered unlikely in science. It was…
