An astonishing array of behavior can be seen in materials with different crystal lattices purely based on the interactions of the electron with the lattice, and in semiconductors based on the energetics of the electrons.

Researchers from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Information Engineering and the Electronics-Inspired Interdisciplinary Research Institute (EIIRIS) at Toyohashi University of Technology have created an ultrastretchable bioprobe employing Kirigami designs.
A study, carried out by EPFL, reports that adding guanidinium into perovskite solar cells stabilizes their efficiency at 19% for 1000 hours under full-sunlight testing circumstances. Details of the study have been published in Nature Energy.
UC Berkeley physicists state that an individual’s physical attraction to hot bodies is real. To be clear, the physicists are not talking about sexual attraction towards a “hot” human body. However, the researchers have demonstrated that a glowing object in fact attracts atoms, opposing to what most people – including physicists– would guess.
The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory will present innovative science and technology during the Annual American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting Dec. 11-15 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans.

Nature stimulates innovation. An international research team led by researchers at Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, along with ESRF -the European Synchrotron, Grenoble, France- scientists, has exposed how a brittle star can form material like tempered glass underwater.
For more than six and a half decades, niobium boride (NbB) has been regarded a typical example of a superconducting material. This presumption has been noted down in manuals related to physics of condensed matter and scientific articles journals, and has at present been challenged in a research carried out by scientists from the University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil, and from San Diego State University, United States.
Following the starting signal, two electrons speed off in opposite directions. The one that wins the race is hardly seven attoseconds (7x10-18 seconds) ahead. It has been impossible to measure the difference till now as it is very small. However, that difference is brought about by chirality, a hallmark of molecules responsible for emitting electrons.
The so-called “Internet of Things” is the idea of having everyday objects communicating useful information over the internet for a variety of purposes. For instance, an internet-connected refrigerator might be able to order a grocery delivery if you start running low on certain items.

Scientists and engineers have been researching various different materials as the base for the inks used in 3D printing for a number of years. Previous successful methods have included those such as using temperature-sensitive polymers and photoactivated structures that change shape in response to light.
