Researchers from the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and Lehigh University have developed a nanostructured copper alloy that could redefine high-temperature materials for aerospace, defense, and industrial applications....

FAMU-FSU College of Engineering researchers have created a new method for studying protein degradation within immune cells that uses engineered microparticles to track and analyze degradation processes more effectively than traditional methods....

When materials are created on a nanometer scale—just a handful of atoms thick—even the thermal energy present at room temperature can cause structural ripples. How these ripples affect the mechanical properties of these thin materials can limit their use in electronics and other key systems....

Pioneering new research could help unlock exciting new potential to create ultrafast, laser-driven storage devices. The study, led by experts from the University of Exeter, could revolutionize the field of data storage through the development of laser-driven magnetic domain memories....

Researchers from the Institute of Polymer Science and Engineering, National Taiwan University, have developed a smart gel that responds to multiple stimuli for precise drug release....

A RIKEN study shows that squeezing the right amount of potassium ions between the atomic layers of molybdenum disulfide can turn it from a semiconductor into a metal, superconductor or insulator. The same layered material can be made to behave as a superconductor, metal, semiconductor or insulator...

One of the simplest and most beautiful naturally occurring patterns can be observed when light is shined through a pair of slightly misaligned periodic structures. This phenomenon, known as the moiré effect, is not only pretty to look at, but also has important consequences for the properties of...

Fungal infections are on the rise globally. According to a study by the Manchester Fungal Infection Group, in 2022, approximately 6.5 million people were infected by a pathogenic fungus, and about 3.8 million died as a result—nearly twice as many as in 2012. Even with medications, known as...

Life's essential functions are powered by a set of compounds called metabolites, which are involved in every natural process, including producing energy, regulating cell activity and keeping the body's systems in balance. Tracking these molecules offers a window into the onset and status of many...

A research team, led by Professor Taesung Kim from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at UNIST, reports the development of a technology that utilizes nanoscale wrinkles formed on transparent films to display or conceal color patterns, such as the traditional Korean Dancheong designs, by...
