Two contrasting strategies have come close in the race to develop large-scale quantum computers. One strategy is based on trapping ions, while the other is based on a traditional technology. Both can now develop a basic device, which would be able to run a range of quantum software.
Michigan State University (MSU) has conducted a research study that displays how Geobacter bacteria grow as films on electrodes to generate electricity. This process is now ready for industrial applications and has been featured in the recent issue of Nature Communications.
A microneedle drug monitoring system has been developed by a team of researchers from the University of British Columbia (UBC) and the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) in Switzerland. This new system is capable of enhancing patient comfort and could potentially replace expensive, invasive blood draws.
Titanium that is four times harder than steel has been discovered at Rice lab.
A physicist from the University of Houston will participate in a $7.5 million collaboration to develop an innovative material with a higher conductivity than diamonds.
University of Basel chemists have succeeded in applying computer simulations to explain transient structures in proteins. The journal Angewandte Chemie features a report in which the chemists illustrate the possibility of understanding proteins’ modes of action by using computer simulations of information at the atomic level.
Spanning from swarming bees to clustering bacteria colonies, nature amazes with its ability to self organize and execute joint, dynamic behaviors. Researchers have recently discovered a method to imitate these behaviors in active materials at microscale by modifying only one parameter.
Self-cleaning, hydrophobic surfaces are highly appealing. Imagine airplane wings that de-ice themselves, scalpels that do not require washing, and windshields that easily repel raindrops.
Royal DSM, a global science-based company active in health, nutrition and materials, is once again extending its range of ForTii® high performance polyphthalamides based on polyamide 4T. Following the introduction earlier this year of the ForTii Eco family of partly bio-based grades, it is now launching the ForTii MX grades to provide a more cost-effective alternative than ever to die-casting metals.
The lotus leaf has a unique feature that prevents the leaf from getting wet when rain falls on it. The water just rolls off without actually wetting the surface of the leaf. This novel characteristic has made room for the possibility of developing artificial materials that are water-repellent just like the lotus leaf.
