A research team at the University of Maryland (UMD) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has successfully determined the phenomenon of pole shift in thin cobalt films on the largest scale yet. Thin cobalt films appear to change their poles, which normally does not occur without an external magnetic field. The study was published in Physical Review B.
Researchers from universities in Japan and China along with the Virginia Commonwealth University researchers have developed a new carbon variant - penta-graphene similar to a pentagonal pattern of tiles paved in the streets of Cairo. The material is a thin sheet of pure carbon with distinct structural properties.
A research team from the University of Manchester and University of Sheffield has illustrated that 2D ‘designer materials’ can be developed to create transparent, flexible and high-efficiency electronic devices. The team headed by Nobel Laureate Sir Kostya Novoselov accomplished this feat by constructing LEDs at an atomic level. Their findings have been published in the scientific journal Nature Materials.
A research team from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) Graduate University have discovered a significant problem in the next-generation solar cells being developed. The top layer of these solar cells are covered with tiny pinholes.
Researchers from the University of California at Berkeley and EPFL have conducted a collaborative study using computer simulations in order to determine the best material to store methane obtained from natural gas.
A group of Georgia Tech researchers have designed eyeglasses which can change from clear to shaded under the wearer's control, rather than based on ambient light conditions.
Using a MakerBot® Replicator® 2X Experimental 3D Printer, a research team from The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research has produced cartilage meant for tracheal repair or replacement. This medical breakthrough has been showcased at the 51st Annual Meeting of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons in San Diego via a presentation by one of the researchers Todd Goldstein, a PhD candidate.
Founded 50 years ago, 2015 sees the 50th Anniversary Meeting of the Thermal Methods Group, a sub-group of the Analytical Division of the Royal Society of Chemistry. It will be celebrated with a three day conference at Churchill College Cambridge with leading speakers from all over Europe.
A research team from UC Davis and Rice University has discovered a technique that would enable natural proteins to self-assemble into amyloid fibrils. Nature has several instances of self-assembly, and researchers have always been interested in replicating or manipulating these proteins to develop novel and practical materials or devices. The team’s research findings have been published online by the journal ACS Nano.
Scientists from Kyoto University and the University of Bristol have harnessed information theory and computer simulation to solve the long-running mystery of whether glass ever stops flowing.
