Research chemists at the University
of Warwick have devised an elegant process which simply and cheaply covers
small particles of polymer with a layer of silica-based nanoparticles. The final
result provides a highly versatile material that can be used to create a range
of high performance materials such as: self healing paints, and clever packaging
that can be tailored to let precise levels of water, air or both pass in a particular
direction.
If you look carefully at a football, you will notice that its surface is composed of hexagons and pentagons. Hexagons lie side by side while any pentagon is surrounded by five hexagons. How many corners and edges are the...
A new International PhD program - supported by the Polish Foundation of Science - is offered by the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Warsaw.
The program designed in cooperation with well-recognized international re...
A research team led by Dr Alan Drew (University of Fribourg, Switzerland and Queen Mary, London) and Dr Elvezio Morenzoni (Paul Scherrer Institute - PSI, Switzerland) is the first one to have tracked the magnetic process...
Two physicists may have found an easier way to make things invisible. Cloaking devices, which are a form of advanced stealth technology, are used to render spacecraft invisible in Star Trek. So far all methods for invisi...
A team at Rice University has figured out that a strip of graphite only 10 atoms thick can be broken with a jolt of electric current -- and repaired with another. Over and over.
Carl Zeiss SMT has set a new record resolution benchmark for scanning electron and ion microscopy – pushing scanning beam technologies beyond its current limits.
A research team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)-Harvard Center for Nanotechnology Excellence has custom-designed nanoparticles that can deliver the anticancer drug cisplatin specifically to prostate ...
A breakthrough technology based on new concepts has now accomplished a similar feat, but on an atomic scale--by allowing, for the first time, the real-time, real-space visualization of fleeting changes in the structure and shape of matter barely a billionth of a meter in size.
The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) is part of an international team of scientists that is learning more about how cracks form in brittle materials. The team used both computer modeling and experimentation to investigate...
