ThyssenKrupp Ferrosta, spol. s r. o., a company of the Materials Services Business Area, has restructured its operations and relocated its 4 warehouses from Rynholec and Hradec Králové to the capital city - Pra...
Excitonic dark states in single atomic layers of tungsten disulfide have been revealed by a Berkeley Lab research team using two-photon excitation spectroscopy, uncovering the reason for the exotic optoelectronic properties of monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) materials.
University of Bristol scientists have published a paper on a reagent that reacts with boronic esters with extraordinary stereocontrol and high fidelity. This would aid in controlling the molecule’s conformation and make it take a linear or helical shape. This novel process can be considered to be similar to that of a molecular assembly line.
Researchers from the University of Texas (UT), Arlington have developed a new technique of cooling electrons to temperatures as low as -228°C at ambient conditions, without external cooling.
NVBOTS has introduced a new version of its fully automated 3D printer. The latest 3D printing solution enables users for around-the-clock sharing and operation of their NVPrinters from any device.
