A technique for developing hybrid thin-film materials, which are usually incredibly difficult to develop, has been devised by material scientists from Duke University.
Scientists have created a water cloaking concept hinged on electromagnetic forces that has the ability to eliminate the wake of an object, thereby considerably minimizing its drag while at the same time assisting it in evading detection.
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.
A team of researchers from the Lomonosov Moscow State University’s Faculty of Physics discovered a stretching of acicular diamond crystallites under an electric field action.
Earlier this year, a technique involving moderately high temperatures, high pressures, and a small amount of glassy carbon as starting material was used to synthesize amorphous diamond for the first time.
A team of physicists from the U.S., Russia, and Sweden has showed a highly extraordinary optical effect: They managed to “virtually” absorb light employing a material that has no light-absorbing capacity.
Under the environmental concerns such as greenhouse effect and pollution, environment-friendly energy storage applications such as ammonia production, fuel cells, and lithium-air batteries are proposed to substitute fossil resources.
Yuki Arakawa, Assistant Professor at Toyohashi University of Technology, has headed a research team to successfully liquid-crystallize π-conjugated rod-like molecules including alkylthio groups comprising sulfur.
An invention with the potential to enhance the conductivity of a kind of glass coating used on objects such as solar cells, touch screens, and energy-efficient windows has been made by scientists from the University of Liverpool.
A metamaterial with the potential to twist to the left or to the right when impacted by a solid, straight push has been designed by scientists. According to Corentin Coulais, this chiral response is contrary to the expectations of ordinary solid mechanics.
