Nature inspires self-assembling helical polymer

Scientists at Hiroshima University developed brand-new helical supramolecular polymer chains from chirally twisted macrocyclic monomers....

Cooperative motion by atoms protects glass from fracturing

We've all experienced the moment of panic when a glass slips from our hands, shattering into pieces upon hitting the ground. What if this...

New method discovered for controlling molecular patterns on liquid droplets

A team of researchers from Bar-Ilan University, in collaboration with researchers from Leiden University (The Netherlands) and...

Creating a brand-new class of materials

Simple to produce. Hard to break. Yet stretchable and over 50% liquid. Those are a few of the qualities of a completely new class of...

In major materials breakthrough, UVA team solves a nearly 200-year-old challenge in polymers

Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science have developed a new design that appears to rewrite...

The first-ever 2D spintronics device constructed entirely from proximitized structures

Researchers from CIC nanoGUNE, in collaboration with international partners, have achieved the first seamless 2D spintronics device made...

Tunable ultrasound propagation in microscale metamaterials

Acoustic metamaterials — architected materials that have tailored geometries designed to control the propagation of acoustic or elastic...

New on-chip device uses exotic light rays in 2D material to detect molecules

Molecules have some sort of fingerprints, unique features that can be used to differentiate them. Each type of molecule, when illuminated...

How can electrons split into fractions of themselves?

MIT physicists have taken a key step toward solving the puzzle of what leads electrons to split into fractions of themselves. Their...

New materials for new applications: trapping single metal atoms in graphene

This article presents a simple and innovative method to create new materials that combine the extraordinary properties of single metal...

New metamaterial with different extension and compression properties than conventional materials

Metamaterials are artificial materials that do not occur in nature. Their components function like atoms in conventional materials but...

Study unlocks mechanisms of liquid-repellent surfaces

Griffith University scientists have made significant strides in understanding and controlling liquid interactions on tiny, advanced...
