Research at the University of Liverpool has found how mirror-image molecules gain control over each other and dictate the physical state of superstructures. The research team studied ‘chiral’ or ‘different-handed’ molecules which are distinguishable by their inability to be superimposed onto their mirror image.
Phillip Mulligan is trying to make improvised explosive devices more powerful with the idea of eventually making them less deadly.
A graduate student at Missouri University of Science and Technology, Mulligan is rese...
Louisiana Tech University's College of Engineering and Science, a nationally recognized leader in educational innovation whose goal is to become "the best college in the world at integrating engineering and scie...
Theorists in the field of molecular electronics hope to get around the problem of Newtonian Physics by designing components out of a single molecule. Pandey's group has done just that—theoretically—by modeling a single-molecule field-effect transistor on a computer.
An insulator can now be transformed to conduct electricity by an ordinary camera flash.
A Northwestern University professor and his students have found a new way of turning graphite oxide -- a low-cost insulator made ...
Because of a high Young's modulus and high sound propagation velocity, UNCD materials hold potential for fabricating high-frequency microelectromechanical (MEMS) resonators.
While the researchers can't promise delivery to a parallel universe or a school for wizards, books like Pullman's Dark Materials and JK Rowling's Harry Potter are steps closer to reality now that researchers ...
Recent work at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and several universities in Sweden and Japan, however, is shedding new light on water's molecular idiosyncrasies, offering insight into its strange bulk properties.
The smallest organisms to use a biological compass are magnetotactic bacteria, however mysteries remain about exactly how these bacteria create their cellular magnets. In a study published online in Genome Research, scientists have used genome sequencing to unlock new secrets about these magnetic microbes that could accelerate biotechnology and nanotechnology research.
Imagine you're a water molecule in a glass of ice water, and you're floating right on the boundary of the ice and the water," proposes Emory University physicist Eric Weeks. "So how do you know if you're a solid or a liquid?
