Polymeric aerogels are nanoporous structures that combine a few highly desirable properties of materials, such as mechanical and strength flexibility. It is virtually impossible to optimize a substance thought to be the final frontier in lightweight materials.
Researchers at Fraunhofer Institute have developed a novel method that can be used to bend sheet glass into unconventional or complex shapes using laser beams. This breakthrough approach paves the way for a new range of promising products for designers and architects.
In a finding that means a lot to the specialty chemicals industries such as pharmaceuticals, a research team including scientists from the Rice University as well as the California Institute of Technology has successfully accomplished a long-pending analysis of producing right-handed and left-handed versions of a molecular sieve, the highly used industrial, solid materials.
Investigations on boron-containing compounds (BCCs) have remarkably grown in medicinal chemistry in the past years. BCCs have been used to treat many maladies, and there have been a few successful cases of using BCCs in treating infectious diseases and cancer.
TMC, an industry leader in high-performance vibration cancellation technology, introduces Hybrid Honeycomb™, a new type of optical breadboard that combines a custom, bonded aluminum plate with the structural damping of a honeycomb breadboard.
The behavior of Weyl particles trapped on the surface of Weyl semimetals has been examined by MIPT researchers. Their study was featured in the renowned Rapid Communications section of Physical Review В.
Developing “lab on a chip” devices proves to be a significant step forward in future healthcare. Distinct from electronic chips used in computers, these “chips” are small devices into which biological fluids such as urine or blood are introduced to fill explicitly designed microscopic channels comprising biosensors with the ability to detect specific markers of diseases within the fluids and to ensure fast diagnosis.
Plastic, rubber, and a number of other useful materials are composed of polymers — long chains set in a cross-linked network. At the molecular level, these polymer networks have structural defects that weaken them.
One of the earliest investigations conducted aboard the International Space Station refers to the research into crystal growth in microgravity. This investigation continues even till today.
A method that transformed scientists' ability to control and study materials at the nanoscale may have dramatic involuntary consequences, a new Oxford University research reveals.
