A dissertation study at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland) developed two-dimensional fishnet-like structures from DNA ...

Superconductors (materials that conduct electricity without resistance) have fascinated physicists for more than a century. While conventional superconductors are well understood, a new class of ...

To overcome global energy challenges and fight the looming environmental crisis, researchers around the world investigate new materials for converting sunlight into electricity. Some of the most ...

A five-element ceramic aerogel compresses by 98% and recovers its shape from cryogenic to 1500 degrees C temperatures, ...

(Nanowerk News) Ice surfaces have a thin layer of water below its melting temperature of 0 °C. Such premelting phenomenon is important for skating and snowflake growth. Similarly, liquid often ...

Kyushu University scientists have achieved a major leap in fuel cell technology by enabling efficient proton transport at ...

Scientists from Caltech have developed ‘a new type of matter,’ which they are calling polycatenated architected materials, or PAMs. This new matter doesn’t occur naturally, and uses chainmail-like ...

For more than 100 years, scientists have been using X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of crystalline materials such as metals, rocks, and ceramics. This technique works best when the ...

ScAlMgO 4 (SCAM) crystalline substrates are attracting interest as a possible alternative to sapphire and silicon carbide. The article discusses the utilization of SCAM substrates for nitride ...
