Or will these potentially life-saving technologies never make it out of the lab?

Scientists at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) have made an object disappear by using a material with nano-size particles that can enhance specific properties on the object’s surface

$10 million grant supports international team’s efforts

The bottom line could be a potentially new class of high thermal conductivity materials useful for heat dissipation from power electronics, LEDs, and other applications

Inexpensive sensors could be worn by soldiers to detect hazardous chemical agents

In addition to characterising the materials, the deterioration problems the galleries have been suffering have also been analysed

Thomas Nosker created the synthetic lumber—made from recycled plastic bottles, coffee cups and other plastics—used in bridges, railway ties, docks and picnic tables

Researchers are seeking to develop even smaller nanolasers, of which plasmonic lasers are the tiniest

Research results could impact future operation of sensors in areas ranging from national security to Earth system science

Mass spectrometry unveiled secrets of how time influences oil found in ancient amphora

Nanoscale images by Berkeley Lab researchers yield surprise that could push efficiency to 31 percent

Results will also be used to understand basic questions about nature such as the cooling mechanisms of the early universe and the formation of planets and stars
