A better sustainable sanitary pad

The audio breakthrough could eventually lead to such consumer products as a foldable loudspeaker, a voice-activated security patch for computers, and even a talking newspaper

Using data science to predict the deterioration of such materials could lead to finding new ways to extend their lifetime

Berkeley Lab and aBeam Technologies bring mass fabrication to nano-optical devices

Conductivity is highest-ever for thin film oxide semiconductor material

Scientists have revealed the mechanism describing how these products work effectively on cloths and yarns, which could pave the way to more effective softening products

It is nearly impossible to improve on a substance considered the final frontier in lightweight materials; but chemists have done just that

New nanodiamond-based dual-mode contrast agent provides clearer and more accurate images of liver tumors at lower dosages

Designing for novel optical components instead of using off-the-shelf optics could reduce the size, weight, or cost of optics systems

New method will better help researchers analyze defects in such materials

Rutgers-led team invents promising technology for killing microbes

Future explorers on Mars would just need to apply pressure to compact the soil—the equivalent of a blow from a hammer—to make bricks
