Foam absorbs energy from sloshing liquids, Princeton scientists report in the journal Physics of Fluids.
New, block-by-block assembly method could pave way for applications in opto-electronics, drug delivery.
Solution enables a battery with both high efficiency and current density.
University of Michigan researchers today (Feb. 20) released a detailed draft analysis of policy options for hydraulic fracturing, the natural gas and oil extraction process commonly known as fracking.
Data from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and other experiments nearly rule out role of 'dark photons' as an explanation for the 'g-2' anomaly.
New York University has received a $14.4 million, six-year grant from the National Science Foundation to expand its Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC).
Limpet teeth might be the strongest natural material known to man, a new study has found.
In today's world, in which the threat of terrorism looms, there is an urgent need for fast, reliable tools to detect the release of deadly chemical warfare agents (CWAs).
A research team led by North Carolina State University has identified and synthesized a material that can be used to create efficient plasmonic devices that respond to light in the mid-infrared (IR) range. This is the first time anyone has demonstrated a material that performs efficiently in response to this light range, and it has applications in fields ranging from high-speed computers, to solar energy to biomedical devices.
