New research result illustrates the Mott insulator state, in which electrons interact so strongly that they avoid being in the same cell. If every cell is occupied, then the electrons stop moving.
The boundaries between biology and technology are becoming blurred. Researchers have successfully grown electrodes in living tissue using the body's molecules as triggers. The result paves the way for the formation of fully integrated electronic circuits in living organisms.
Svcientists have unlocked the secret behind the extraordinary mechanical properties and ultra-light weight of certain fungi. The complex architectural design of mushrooms could be mimicked and used to create new materials to replace plastics.
Researchers have developed an advanced membrane that can simultaneously provide drinking water and generate continuous electricity from various water resources, such as sewage/wastewater, seawater, and groundwater.
Scientists invented a nanowire that can be cheaply grown by common bacteria and tuned to 'smell' a vast array of chemical tracers - including those given off by people afflicted with a wide range of medical conditions, such as asthma and kidney disease.
