The basis of the new material is polyethylene, which is already used for insulation in existing HVDC cables. Now, by adding very small amounts –…
Engineers at MIT, Caltech, and ETH Zürich find “nanoarchitected” materials designed from precisely patterned nanoscale structures (pictured) may be a promising route to lightweight armor,…
Scales of descriptors — from whole nanoparticle to unit cell to individual atoms. Credit: University of Birmingham Researchers have developed a ‘library of properties’ to…
Researchers at the University of Vienna have designed a new 3D magnetic nanonetwork, where magnetic monopoles emerge due to rising magnetic frustration among the nanoelements,…
A longstanding interest in radiation’s effects on metals has drawn Michael Short into new areas such as nuclear security and microreactors. Michael Short came to…
A new way to probe exotic matter aids the study of atomic and particle physics. Physicists have created a new way to observe details about…
Using machine-learning tools, the scientists identified important features to characterize materials that exhibit a metal-insulator transition. Credit: Northwestern University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology…
Purified tin selenide has extraordinarily high thermoelectric performance. Perseverance, NASA’s 2020 Mars rover, is powered by something very desirable here on Earth: a thermoelectric device,…
Schematic of InAs lattice in contact with a nanoantenna array that bends incoming light so it is tightly confined around the shallow surface of the…
Research led by Kansas State University’s Suprem Das, assistant professor of industrial and manufacturing systems engineering, in collaboration with Christopher Sorensen, university distinguished professor of…
A new one-step method creates a liquid-proof, more buoyant cotton fabric for life jackets. Credit: American Chemical Society Floating into summer with more buoyant, liquid-proof…

MIT engineers have designed a new type of stent that could be used to deliver drugs to the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, or other tubular…
Hydrodynamic field inside and outside the skeletal structure of the Euplectella aspergillum glass sponge. The field was reconstructed using CINECA super-computers. Kinetic methodologies and advanced…
If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. Scientists on the hunt…
