Researchers have created a microphone that listens with light instead of sound. Unlike traditional microphones, this visual microphone captures tiny vibrations on the surfaces of objects caused by sound waves and turns them ...
A new method to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into ethylene using significantly less energy than existing approaches could help cut emissions from one of the world's most carbon-intensive manufacturing processes.
Coral restoration efforts could be dramatically improved with technologies that support the survival and growth of baby corals, suggests a new study.
Perovskite is a rising star in the field of materials science. The mineral is a cheaper, more efficient alternative to existing photovoltaic materials like silicon, a semiconductor used in solar cells. Now, new research has ...
As tons of plastic waste continue to build up in landfills every day, Yale researchers have developed a way to convert this waste into fuels and other valuable products efficiently and cheaply. The results are published in ...
Topological materials are a class of materials that exhibit unique electronic properties at their boundary (surface in 3D materials; edge in 2D materials) that are robust against imperfections or disturbances and are markedly ...
Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have found new applications of magnetic field therapy with potential benefits for food sustainability and metabolic health.
Quantum confinement is a physical effect that occurs when the size of a material—usually a semiconductor or conductor—is reduced to the nanoscale, thereby restricting the movement of electrons or holes.
Dark matter, a type of matter that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, is predicted to account for most of the universe's mass. While theoretical predictions hint at its abundance, detecting this elusive matter has so ...
A research team has successfully developed a technology that efficiently converts carbon dioxide (CO2) into carbon monoxide (CO), an industrial raw material, by precisely controlling the interaction between the rhodium (Rh) ...
