Using simple building blocks for constructing complex materials from the bottom-up is an extremely difficult task in the laboratory, but Mother Nature does this every day.
The gold atom’s normal oxidation states in compounds are +I and +III. In contrast, the divalent form (+II) largely forms polynuclear compounds.
Recently, an International Research Team has developed an innovative technique to ascertain whether a crystal is a topological insulator, and also to estimate the chemical compositions and crystal structures needed for the synthesis of new crystals.
In the early 1930s, Louis Néel discovered the abnormality that specific materials that consist of magnetic elements and exhibiting zero remanence at any temperature did not conform to the paramagnetic Curie law.
An unusual interaction between metal and light can be harnessed to make chemical reactions more sustainable, but the physics underlying it has been extensively debated in the field.
Innovative dental biomaterials for the regeneration of dental hard tissues have been developed as an outcome of the collaboration of Salvatore Sauro, Professor of dental biomaterials and minimally invasive dentistry at CEU Cardenal Herrera University, in Spain, with several researchers from Finland, Brazil, Belgium, Germany and the UK.
Chemists from the University of Kentucky and the Institute of Physics Research of Mar del Plata in Argentina recently reported a new way for triggering a basic step in the mechanism of photosynthesis, providing a process that proves to be promising in the development of a new technology that will help reduce the levels of carbon dioxide.
A Research group, headed by Zhe Fei from Iowa State University, has captured the first images of half-light, half-matter quasiparticles known as exciton-polaritons. This latest discovery could lead to the development of faster nanophotonic circuits than present-generation of electrical circuits. The study has been reported in the scientific journal, Nature Photonics.
When you zoom in on a crystal, you will find an ordered array of atoms that are evenly spaced like the windows on the Empire State Building. But when you zoom in on a piece of glass, the picture looks a bit messier, more like a random pile of sand, or maybe be the windows on a Frank Gehry building.
MIT researchers are discovering ways to make the dining experience fun and interactive, with food that can alter its shape when water is added.
