New technique that accurately measures how atom-thin materials expand when heated could help engineers develop faster, more powerful electronic devices.
Asphaltenes, a byproduct of crude oil production, are a waste material with potential. Scientists are determined to find it by converting the carbon-rich resource into useful graphene.
Engineers have designed a new material for nanoscale 3D printing that is able to absorb twice as much energy as other similarly dense materials and could be used to create better lightweight protective lattices.
Researchers have developed a new way to guide the self-assembly of a wide range of novel nanoscale structures using simple polymers as starting materials.
When a liquid boils in a vessel, tiny vapor bubbles form at the bottom and rise, transferring heat in the process. How these small bubbles grow and eventually detach was previously not known in any great detail.
Researchers developed a cation defect engineering technique to synthesize Pt-single-atom catalysts with ultrahigh mass activity for large-scale hydrogen production at low cost.
Scientists evaluated the antifungal activity and mechanism of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) against four pathogens (Alternaria alternata, Pestalotiopsis microspora, Diaporthe actinidiae, and Botryosphaeria dothidea) causing kiwifruit post-harvest rot.
A new type of reconfigurable, scalable, low power hardware security device with high resilience to AI attacks has been developed by researchers using phase-change materials.
