A new study shows that, as materials age, they 'remember' prior stresses and external forces, which scientists and engineers can then use to create new materials with unique properties

New studies show how scientists have honed a technique for handling tiny, soft particles using precisely controlled fluid flows that act as gentle microscopic hands

In just the last four years, tuning non-fullerene acceptors chemistry has boosted organic photovoltaic technology from initially converting only one percent of sunlight into electricity to 18 percent conversion in recent experiments

Within the last 10 years, there has been extensive research on "photoredox catalysts" that can be activated by visible light and enable highly specific and efficient chemical reactions

In order to fully tap into a liquid crystal's wondrous properties, its constituent particles must be systematically assembled

The toy's special properties mean it could be useful in the development of quantum computing

Simply adding 'table salt' helps to build self-stacked nanoarchitectures

Devices such as transistors, magnetic memory, and lasers could all improve as researchers delve into the nature of these bonds

All Particle Explorer software modules are easily accessible and packed with a plethora of new and exciting features

Insects in torrential rivers may inspire engineering solutions

A recent study was initially inspired by the way our cells transport water throughout the body and began as an attempt to develop artificial channels for transporting water across membranes
