Self-healing materials are capable of repairing autonomous defects, such as dents, cracks or scratches, and then resume their original shape. To accomplish this, these materials must comprise of several components whose collective properties deliver the desired characteristics.
A new study suggests that the need for applying chemical treatments to fabrics in order to achieve properties such as magnetism or fluorescence could one day be eliminated by cotton that is grown with molecules endowing these appealing properties.
Physicists from UCLA have invented a new technique for synthesizing a distinctive new molecule that can, in due course, be used in fields such as food science, medicine, and others. The study also demonstrates the technique for analyzing chemical reactions on a microscopic-scale by applying tools of physics, and has been published in the Science journal.
It is a known fact that glass is omnipresent; while anyone is viewing outside through a window or scrolling down a smartphone, chances are that a glass layer exists between the person and the item being viewed.
Catalysts can be defined as agents that initiate chemical reactions, speed them up or considerably increase the yield of the desired product.
A stretchy miracle material capable of being used for developing greatly resistant smart devices and scratch-proof paint for cars has been discovered by a group of researchers from Queen’s University Belfast.
Holograms are generally associated with futuristic 3D display technologies, however, in reality, people are using holographic technologies to help study materials at the atomic level. X-rays referred to as a high energy form of light are frequently used to study atomic structure.
Scientists from the NYU Tandon School of Engineering have adopted an innovative technique for analyzing the formation of methane hydrate from water and methane. The technique has enabled the scientists to rapidly and very efficiently investigate the individual steps in the formation process.
A sophisticated structural steel fire protection system from Morgan Advanced Materials has been certified for the fire protection of structural steelwork in compliance with the EU Construction Products Regulation (Regulation 305/2011/EU).
Researcher Rebeca Sola from the Department of Physical Chemistry in the UPV/EHU's Faculty of Science and Technology has created and characterized hybrid materials that react differently to light, and hold promise for potential use in extremely different areas ranging from optics to biomedicine.
