Scientists at Aalto University, Finland, and the University of Vienna, Austria, have combined graphene and single-walled carbon nanotubes into a transparent hybrid material with conductivity higher than either component exhibits separately
University of Utah electrical and computer engineering researchers have developed a new kind of optical lens that is much thinner and lighter than conventional camera lenses
Research teams have been working for some time on making efficient biocatalysts containing oxygen-sensitive hydrogenases last longer
The 3D-printed analytic chips, made of renewable raw materials, will even be biodegradable in the future
Modern air conditioning systems consume significant amounts of energy to cool buildings during the daytime, generating significant amounts of greenhouse gases responsible for climate change
In a uranium-based compound once dismissed as uninteresting, scientists watched superconductivity arise, disappear, then return under the influence of high magnetic fields
Picoscience involves designing the materials theoretically, fabricating them, and characterizing their properties
Complex lattices that change in response to stimuli open a range of applications in electronics, robotics, and medicine
Team creates metal that breaks decades-old theoretical limit, promising new class of super-strong and conducting materials
Alloy behaves strangely while traversing potential 'spin liquid' state
Using aluminium battery technology could offer several advantages, including a high theoretical energy density, and the fact that there already exists an established industry for its manufacturi
