Technology for converting solar energy into thermal energy is ever evolving and has numerous applications. A breakthrough in the laboratory of Professor My Ali El Khakani at Institut national de la recherche scientifique ...
Lacquers, paint, concrete—and even ketchup or orange juice: Suspensions are widespread in industry and everyday life. By a suspension, materials scientists mean a liquid in which tiny, insoluble solid particles are evenly ...
In the quest for next-generation energy, sensing, and pigment technologies, semiconducting metal oxides like titanium dioxide (TiOâ‚‚) have emerged as essential materials due to their abundance, stability, and intriguing ...
Superconductivity is a quantum phenomenon, observed in some materials, that entails the ability to conduct electricity with no resistance below a critical temperature. Over the past few years, physicists and material scientists ...
Metamaterials are artificially-structured materials with extraordinary properties not easily found in nature. With engineered three-dimensional (3D) geometries at the micro- and nanoscale, these architected materials achieve ...
Imagine building a Lego tower with perfectly aligned blocks. Each block represents an atom in a tiny crystal, known as a quantum dot. Just like bumping the tower can shift the blocks and change its structure, external forces ...
Only recently has the ribosome—one of the oldest molecular machines in evolutionary terms—been recognized as an active regulator of gene expression at the level of protein biosynthesis. This is an important process for ...
Researchers from Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) and the University of Montpellier have successfully synthesized wafer-scale hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) exhibiting an AA-stacking configuration, a crystal ...
New RNA-based active agents reliably protect plants against the Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), the most common virus in agriculture and horticulture. They were developed by researchers at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg ...
A research team from the Xinjiang Technical Institute of Â鶹ÒùÔºics and Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has made strides in the theoretical design of nonlinear optical (NLO) materials by leveraging machine learning ...
