- Materials Could Delay Frost Up To 300 Times Longer Than Existing Anti-Icing Coatings 06/05/2019 Most techniques to prevent frost and ice formation on surfaces rely heavily on heating or liquid chemicals that need to be repeatedly reapplied because they easily wash away.
- Fast And Selective Optical Heating For Functional Nanomagnetic Metamaterials 06/05/2019 Compared to so-far used global heating schemes, which are slow and energy-costly, light-controlled heating, using optical degrees of freedom such as light wavelength, polarisation, and power, allows to implement local, efficient, and fast heating schemes for the use in nanomagnetic computation or to quantify collective emergent phenomena in artificial spin systems.
- Researchers Capture An Image Of Negative Capacitance In Action 05/05/2019 Negative capacitance occurs when a change in charge causes the net voltage across a material to change in the opposite direction; so that a decrease in voltage leads to an increase in charge.
- Atomically Quasi '1D' Wires Created Using Carbon Nanotube Template 04/05/2019 Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have used carbon nanotube templates to produce nanowires of transition metal monochalcogenide (TMM), which are only three atoms wide in diameter.
- Shrinking The Carbon Footprint Of A Chemical In Everyday Objects 03/05/2019 The biggest source of global energy consumption is the industrial manufacturing of products such as plastics, iron, and steel. Not only does manufacturing these materials require huge amounts of energy, but many of the reactions also directly emit carbon dioxide as a byproduct.
- The Microbots Are On Their Way 02/05/2019 Tiny sensors with tinier legs, stamped out of silicon wafers, could one day soon help fix your cellphone battery or study your brain.
- Antimatter Quantum Interferometry Makes Its Debut 01/05/2019 Researchers in Italy and Switzerland have performed the first ever double-slit-like experiment on antimatter using a Talbot-Lau interferometer and a positron beam.
- A New Graphene Foam Stays Squishy At The Coldest Temperatures 15/04/2019 Since it stays pliable at such low temperatures, this material could be used in space.
- Helium Users Are At The Mercy Of Suppliers 14/04/2019 Researchers seek government help in addressing supply shortage as prices are expected to continue soaring.
- Molecular Healing Gives Record Perovskite LED Efficiency 13/04/2019 Scientists manipulate the inductive effect to develop bespoke molecules for passivating perovskites.
- Multi-Directional Spectroscopy Enables Human Neuroimaging 12/04/2019 Development of multi-directional functional near-infrared spectroscopy system for human neuroimaging studies
