Energy from your body heat and motion could fuel the future of preventive health care.

The microtubes are just 8 millimeters long and less than a hundredth of an inch wide. 

A quantum mechanical transport phenomenon demonstrated for the first time in synthetic, atomically-thin layered material at room temperature could lead to novel nanoelectronic circuits and devices, according to researchers at Penn State and three other U.S. and international universities.

The editors of Lab Manager have gathered a panel of industry experts to discuss some of the latest trends in material testing in this live webinar

Researchers have solved the long-standing conundrum of how the boundary between grains of graphene affects heat conductivity in thin films of the miracle substance — bringing developers a step closer to being able to engineer films at a scale useful for cooling microelectronic devices and hundreds of other nano-tech applications.

Origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, can be used to create beautiful birds, frogs and other small sculptures. Now a Binghamton University engineer says the technique can be applied to building batteries, too.

X-ray studies conducted at SLAC confirm long-theorized 3D property in exotic material.

Kristi Gaines and Su Shin found a gap in research related to clothing designed specifically to help children with autism cope with their environments.

Physicists at the University of Washington have conducted the most precise and controlled measurements yet of the interaction between the atoms and molecules that comprise air and the type of carbon surface used in battery electrodes and air filters — key information for improving those technologies.

One of the world's leading aerospace companies has selected Mississippi's flagship research university to host its Stitched Resin Infused Composite Research Center.

A simulated flip from metal to insulator might be used to encode information.

Scientists around the world are using the programmability of DNA to assemble complex nanometer-scale structures. Until now, however, production of these artificial structures has been limited to water-based environments, because DNA naturally functions inside the watery environment of living cells.
