Microfluidics specialist Dolomite has teamed up with Lab on a Chip and the Chemical and Biological Microsystems Society to create the first ever MicroTAS Video Competition.
Let's find out what's inside that new iPhone with this ACS Reactions video
University of Illinois at Chicago researchers have discovered a way to create a highly sensitive chemical sensor based on the crystalline flaws in graphene sheets. The imperfections have unique electronic properties that the researchers were able to exploit to increase sensitivity to absorbed gas molecules by 300 times.
Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have created a small scale “hydrogen generator” that uses light and a two-dimensional graphene platform to boost production of the hard-to-make element.
Step toward quantum computing, spintronic memory, better displays.
In Science, UMass Amherst researchers tell how they broke the ‘electrode barrier.’
Discovery represents advance in understanding of conductive material.
Researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute design new advanced materials for lithium-ion batteries.
Brookhaven Lab and Stony Brook University researchers measure the quantum fluctuations behind a novel magnetic material's ultra-cold ferromagnetic phase transition.
Physicist Zvonimir Dogic and his lab are on a roll. Last week, Dogic’s research was featured in two of science’s most respected journals, Science and Nature.
Imagine a balloon that could float without using any lighter-than-air gas. Instead, it could simply have all of its air sucked out while maintaining its filled shape. Such a vacuum balloon, which could help ease the world's current shortage of helium, can only be made if a new material existed that was strong enough to sustain the pressure generated by forcing out all that air while still being lightweight and flexible.
