In nature, octopus, clingfish and larva use soft biological cups to attach to surfaces under water. Researchers have recently developed such bioinspired cups, but their mechanisms of attachment and detachment remain elusive. ...
New research artificially creating a rare form of matter known as spin glass could spark a new paradigm in artificial intelligence by allowing algorithms to be directly printed as physical hardware. The unusual properties ...
Photoresist-based patterning strategies have been standardized for decades since the invention of photolithography. However, there are still major challenges in the processing of certain functional structures. For example, ...
Bioprinting is widely applicable to develop tissue engineering scaffolds and form tissue models in the lab. Materials scientists use this method to construct complex 3D structures based on different polymers and hydrogels; ...
Mechanical metamaterials are an emerging class of materials primarily governed by their architecture to create lightweight materials with extreme mechanical properties. The functionality of such materials is limited by their ...
A team of researchers affiliated with a large number of institutions in China has realized direct lithography of composition-tunable perovskite nanocrystals inside of glass. In their paper published in the journal Science, ...
Researchers have created intricately patterned materials that mimic antimicrobial, adhesive and drag reducing properties found in natural surfaces.
When biologists study cells under a microscope, they look at them on flat surfaces that are nothing like the environment inside the human body. Now, researchers at NTNU have found a way to mimic some aspects of a cell's native ...
New methods for measuring the size and concentration of ultrafine particles using charged plasmas can be used to make future sensors for health benefits.
Drilling with the beam of an electron microscope, scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory precisely machined tiny electrically conductive cubes that can interact with light and organized them ...
