Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have formulated a new method based on the natural “snapping” systems, such as Venus flytrap leaves and hummingbird beaks, to apply curved creases so that thin curved shells are provided with a quick, programmable snapping motion mimicking the natural “snapping” systems.
Researchers at Kyoto University's Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS) have created a unique method to target pain receptors using tiny gold nanorods. Their work could pave the way for pain relief therapies, which can assist patients with intractable pain, even cancer-related pain.
Engineers at Northwestern University have identified the ideal surface ‘roughness’ required for keeping surfaces dry underwater.
MIT researchers, in collaboration with scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Northeastern University, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and Boston College, have analyzed an unusual magnetic behavior with the help of spin-polarized neutron reflectometry.
Researchers at Duke University and the University of British Columbia have discovered that droplets can launch themselves from thin fibers, a phenomenon that may find application in refining oil and purifying water.
A team of researchers from MIT and Samsung, along with others from California and Maryland, have developed a solid electrolyte which could vastly improve battery lifetime and safety.
Researchers at Drexel University have developed a new material-making method for creating an entirely new stable material for storing energy by 'sandwiching' atomic layers of materials such as molybdenum, titanium and carbon.
Scientists from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) of the US Department of Energy have successfully performed a molecular-level analysis on the impact of illumination on 2D semiconductors using an innovative nano-optical probe called the Campanile probe.
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory have developed a newly patented technology that can considerably increase the life of mechanical components. Metal parts integrated in industrial machines undergo significant wear and tear. In order to protect and extend the lifetime of machinery, a number of surface hardening methods has been developed such as pack-boriding, which deposits a boride layer on metal pieces during boron diffusion. Distinguished Fellow Ali Erdemir’s work has improved on this traditional boriding method, which not only takes up significant amount of time, but is also labor-intensive. To resolve this issue, the researchers developed a process for ultra-fast boriding that saves time, energy and cost, while reducing environmental concerns.
A new hydrogel, developed by a research team headed by scientists at the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science in Japan, stretches and contracts swiftly like an artificial muscle in response to temperature change.
