Researchers developed a metamaterial that traps and amplifies micro-vibrations in small areas. This innovation is expected to increase the power output of energy harvesting, which converts wasted vibration energy into electricity, and accelerate its commercialization.
Researchers develop floating bimetallic catalysts to grow ultralong carbon nanotube arrays with unprecedented density and uniformity, paving the way for advanced applications.
Using a special wafer-thin gold membrane, researchers have made it significantly easier to study surfaces. The membrane makes it possible to measure properties of surfaces that are inaccessible to conventional methods.
