Scientists create the thinnest films of liquid ever made
A team of physicists at the University of Vermont have discovered a fundamentally new way surfaces can get wet. Their study may allow scientists...
Plastics with a built-in self-destruct mechanism
Chemists in search of their Holy Grail: a plastic designed to die
Plastics were designed to last as long as possible, but they’re now blamed...
A new way to mend a broken heart
“Therepi” device attaches directly to the damaged heart, enabling delivery of medicine from a port under a patient’s skin to augment cardiac function.
After a...
New epoxy-based composites to cure underwater
Researchers at Technische Universität Wien (TU-Wien) in Vienna, Austria, have developed a “special formula” that allows epoxy-based composites to cure underwater. The research group, headed...
MOF material exhibits selective capture of toxic atmospheric gas
Led by the University of Manchester, an international team of scientists has developed a metal-organic framework material (MOF) that exhibits a selective, fully reversible...
Physicists create new class of 2-D artificial materials
In 1965, a renowned Princeton University physicist theorized that ferroelectric metals could conduct electricity despite not existing in nature.
For decades, scientists thought it would...
Ordered magnetic patterns in disordered magnetic material
A team of scientists working at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has confirmed a special property known as "chirality—which...
3-D printed multimaterial with programmed stiffness
A new method of microscale 3-D printing features in-situ resin mixing, delivery and exchange, and a robotic material cleansing system to allow switching between...
Transparent, conductive films for developing flexible screens
Researchers have demonstrated the large-scale fabrication of a new type of transparent conductive electrode film based on nano-patterned silver. Smartphone touch screens and flat...
