Underground pipelines, some as old as the cities they service, are often far past their intended lifespan and the need for replacing them looms as an expense most municipalities can't afford.
There's more to glass than meets the eye.
Two-dimensional (2-D) organic-inorganic halide perovskites are emerging materials for photovoltaic and optoelectronic applications due to their unique physical properties and a high degree of tunability. Despite impressive ...
