Using 3D technology and interdisciplinary expertise, a research team has explored Buddhist temples in the remote Dolpo region of Nepal and digitized them for posterity In the high-altitude and extremely remote region of Dolpo in north-west Nepal, there are numerous Buddhist temples whose history dates back to the 11th century. The structures are threatened by earthquakes, landslides and planned infrastructure projects such as the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative. There is also a lack of financial resources for long-term maintenance….
“Our team experimentally detected an exceptional surface, a continuous three-dimensional curving surface of exceptional points,” said Xufeng Zhang, who led…
Now a team of Brown University researchers has developed a way to measure the forces involved in this type of clustering. It's the first time, the researchers…
As part of the AMARETO project (Saxon Alliance for Material and Resource Efficient Technologies), the Institute for Metal Forming (IMF) has now produced cast…
It is about organic photovoltaic cells (OPV cells), which are less efficient than traditional silicon-based solar cells, but are flexible and transparent….
The new coating — engineered from samarium nickel oxide, a unique tunable material — employs a bit of temperature trickery.
Since their discovery in 2009, topological insulators are a hot topic of material physics. The special thing about them is that they simultaneously act as both…

If you use a vacuum-insulated thermos to help keep your coffee hot, you may know it's a good insulator because heat energy has a hard time moving through empty…
A new study from the lab of Kyle Bishop, associate professor of chemical engineering, proposes a strategy for microscale robots that can sense symptoms of a…
City, University London draws on Formula 1 technology for the construction of “needle-like” skyscrapers.
Depending on the shape and orientation of their edges, graphene nanostructures (also known as nanographenes) can have very different properties – for example,…
Here's a case where detours speed up traffic. The result may be better batteries for transportation, electronics and solar energy storage.
