An international team of scientists led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has developed a new type of ultracompact laser that is more energy efficient and consumes less power.
A new study led by researchers at the University of Cambridge, in collaboration with international institutions, has uncovered a key mechanism in how DNA behaves as it passes through nanoscale pores—a process central to ...
In Associate Professor Jonathan Boreyko's Nature-Inspired Fluids and Interfaces Lab, Ph.D. student Jack Tapocik watched a disk-shaped chunk of ice resting on an engineered metal surface. As the ice melted, the water formed ...
Nitrogen oxides (NOx), a major contributor to air pollution, are emitted from a variety of fuel combustion sources—including industrial smokestacks, vehicles, and ships. The emission temperatures of NOx vary significantly ...
When two mesh screens or fabrics are overlapped with a slight offset, moiré patterns emerge as a result of interference caused by the misalignment of the grids. While these patterns are commonly recognized as optical illusions ...
In the world of nanotechnology, seeing clearly isn't easy. It's even harder when you're trying to understand how a material's properties relate to its structure at the nanoscale. Tools like piezoresponse force microscopy ...
In a significant leap toward next-generation lithium battery design, researchers from the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Peking University, led by Professor Xia Dingguo, have discovered a previously unknown ...
Between 50 and 100 kilometers (30–60 miles) above the Earth's surface lies a largely unstudied stretch of the atmosphere, called the mesosphere. It's too high for airplanes and weather balloons, too low for satellites, ...
A public‑private partnership between Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS), the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Â鶹ÒùÔºics Laboratory (PPPL) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory has led to a new artificial intelligence ...
When most people think of liquid metal, they think of the T-1000 from "Terminator 2." Steve Lustig sees a chemistry kit.
