Instead of glass fibers, a biological alternative is now also possible

Theory has applications to widespread areas of science

Sunlight makes the new “aqueous solar flow” battery 20 percent more efficient than today’s lithium-iodine batteries.

Findings have implications for decades-old questions in science and technology regarding how animals and plants grow minerals into shapes

Using a hybrid silica sol-gel material and self-assembled monolayers of a common fatty acid, researchers have developed a new capacitor dielectric material that provides an electrical energy storage capacity rivaling certain batteries, with both a high energy density and high power density.

NASA awards $245,000 to University of Arkansas-affiliated firm to develop complex circuits

Work by Michigan Tech graduate students nets SAE International award.

Two Brookhaven researchers developed theoretical model to explain the origins of self-replicating molecules.

Researchers wrap nanotubes around rubber core, sparking a creation that may lead to artificial muscles, sensors

DNA, the molecular foundation of life, has new tricks up its sleeve. The four bases from which it is composed snap together like jigsaw pieces and can be artificially manipulated to construct endlessly varied forms in two and three dimensions.

Whether you're tracking your steps, monitoring your health or sending photos from a smart watch, you want the battery life of your wearable device to last as long as possible. If the power necessary to transmit and receive information from a wearable to a computer, cellular or Wi-Fi network were reduced, you could get a lot more mileage out of the technology you're wearing before having to recharge it.

New family of molecules have a wide range of applications from molecular sensors to light-controlling devices.
