North Carolina State University researchers have identified that the surface texture of gallium nitride (GaN) materials has the ability to influence the condition of adjacent cells.
When flowing closely to a few specially designed surfaces, water and various other liquids develop a strange property. The speed at which water flows is not equal to zero even in the layer directly touching the wall.
Loss of magnetization in permanent magnets can be a real concern for physicists. In 1983, Sumitomo, a Japanese company, developed the most powerful magnet available, offering ten times more magnetic energy compared to the earlier types.
The accurate X-ray vision offered by DESY’s radiation source PETRA III has been used by researchers from the Technical University of Munich to examine the degradation of plastic solar cells.
Celanese Corporation, an international technology and specialty materials company, will launch its Ateva® ExtruBond™ ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) at the 2016 Flex Pack Con October 9-12 in Memphis, Tenn.
A smartphone microscope that can be easily assembled, offers new techniques to interact with and also to learn about common microbes. This open-source device can be used either by teachers or for various other educational requirements.
Nitrogen is vital for life, and in nature the chief source of nitrogen is in the form of gas found in earth’s atmosphere. This gas does not react easily with other elements. Certain types of specialized bacteria are capable of converting nitrogen molecules in the air into ammonia so that it can be used to create proteins, which are the building blocks, power plants and machines of cells.
Perovskite is a type of oxide structure, and researchers have discovered it has an unexpected and unique behavior when exposed to streams of electrons and water vapor. The material emits oxygen and began to oscillate, closely resembling a living, breathing organism.
The journal Nature has published a study explaining the successful application of laser spectroscopy in order to reveal the atomic structure of Nobelium, a transfermium element, for the first time.
Multiferroics or materials that posses both electric and magnetic order are the main areas of focus for futuristic computing. However, as the conditions conducive for these two states are mutually exclusive, these multiferroics are hard to create. Most of the multiferroics known currently only exhibit their properties at very low temperatures.
