In the tangled darkness of Southeast Asian mangrove forests, one crab species appears to have evolved a structure that functions like a miniature car headlamp. Researchers at the National University of Singapore have discovered ...
Researchers have demonstrated that by using a semiconductor with flexible bonds, the material can be molded into various structures using nano containers, without altering its composition. The discovery could lead to the ...
Grasses have evolved a wide variety of inflorescences, in which the seeds are arranged in many different ways: Some types form complex, branched inflorescences with multiple seeds, while others—such as barley—have much ...
An international research team studying fossilized oyster shells has revealed substantial annual temperature variation in sea water during the Early Cretaceous. The finding overturns the assumption that Earth's greenhouse ...
As demand for energy-intensive computing grows, researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a new technique that lets scientists see—in unprecedented detail—how interfaces move ...
For decades, traditional lithography techniques—such as electron beam lithography and nanoimprinting—have struggled to meet the demand for ultra-fine, high-aspect-ratio structures in general. Similar difficulty also applies ...
Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and DOE's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have uncovered an unexpected interface layer that may be hindering the performance ...
Reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration through electrochemical methods (eCO2RR) in acidic conditions is an important strategy for producing valuable products while avoiding the formation of carbonate.
Altermagnets, which exhibit momentum-dependent spin splitting without spin–orbit coupling (SOC) or net magnetization, have recently attracted significant international attention.
What if there were a fabric that, like Superman, could take a bullet and self-heal? Such a super-dynamic, action-powered polymer might actually help protect real-life flyers in space.
