If a coffee cup fails to survive an unexpected engagement with gravity, its replacement is just a few dollars away. But not all ceramics or metals can afford to fail—the precision components inside a nuclear reactor, the ...
Subduction zone fluids are the key carrier for element migration and matter cycles between the crust and mantle of the Earth. Interpreting the sources, properties and signatures of fluids has significant implications for ...
Liquid crystals derived from borophene have risen in popularity, owing to their applicability in optoelectronic and photonic devices. However, their development requires a very narrow temperature range, which hinders their ...
MIT physicists have discovered an exotic "multiferroic" state in a material that is as thin as a single layer of atoms. Their observation is the first to confirm that multiferroic properties can exist in a perfectly two-dimensional ...
Space travel can be agonizingly slow: For example, the New Horizons probe took almost 10 years to reach Pluto. Traveling to Proxima Centauri b, the closest habitable planet to Earth, would require thousands of years with ...
A chemical used in electric vehicle batteries could also give us carbon-free fuel for space flight, according to new UC Riverside research.
Some hikers carry a small solar power generator with them, a foil attached to their backpack that converts sunlight into electricity. This allows them to charge their devices while on the move. Flexible, thin and lightweight ...
A quasiparticle that forms in semiconductors can now be moved around at room temperature, a University of Michigan-led study has shown. The finding could cool down computers, enabling faster speeds and higher efficiencies, ...
Researchers at The University of Manchester may have cleared a significant hurdle on the path to quantum computing, demonstrating step-change improvements in the spin transport characteristics of nanoscale graphene-based ...
Researchers have identified a two-dimensional material that could be used to store quantum information at room temperature.
