Scientists use nanoscale building blocks and DNA 'glue' to shape 3-D superlattices
Taking child's play with building blocks to a whole new level-the nanometer scale-scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National…
From metal to insulator and back again
Metals are compounds that are capable of conducting the flow of electrons that make up an electric current. Other materials, called insulators, are not capable…
Drexel materials scientists putting a new spin on computing memory
Unfortunately, the same drawbacks and perils of the mechanical sketch board have been just as pervasive in computing: making a change often requires starting…
Better battery imaging paves way for renewable energy future
“Iron fluoride has the potential to triple the amount of energy a conventional lithium-ion battery can store,” says Song Jin, a UW-Madison professor of…
