Jumping movement is commonly observed in nature, including for mammals, insects and the other land creatures; this fluid motion aims for rapid mobility, a faster arrival time at a destination over large obstacles and rough ...
Advanced materials with more novel properties are almost always developed by adding more elements to the list of ingredients. But quantum research suggests some simpler materials might already have advanced properties that ...
The collision between the Indian and Eurasian plates resulted in the formation of the Tianshan Tectonic Belt; however, the formation mechanism of Tianshan and the construction of a dynamic model explaining it remain to be ...
Scientists have long questioned why the bursts of hot gas from the sun do not cool down as fast as expected, and have now used a supercomputer to find out.
An essential preliminary to building and construction or resource extraction is studying the geological structure of the site. One of the steps of this process is geophysical investigation. This provides a continuous overview ...
Inks containing metal nanoparticles are among the most commonly-used conductive materials for printed electronics. Ink-jetting layers of MNP materials allows for unpreceded design flexibility, rapid processing and 3D printing ...
Like most materials, an elastic band gets thinner when it is stretched. But some materials behave in the opposite way—they grow thicker when stretched and thinner when compressed. These counterintuitive substances, known ...
Polarization-sensitive photodetectors based on anisotropic semiconductors exhibit a wide range of advantages in specialized applications, such as astronomy, remote sensing, and polarization-division multiplexing. For the ...
New interfacial superconductor has novel properties that raise new fundamental questions and might be useful for quantum information processing or quantum sensing.
A team of researchers at ETH Zurich and the University of Twente has found that stretching a substrate provides a new and easier way to control anisotropic wetting. In their paper published in the journal Â鶹ÒùÔºical Review ...
