The transformation of planar aromatic molecules into π-extended non-planar structures is a challenging task and has not been realized by mechanochemistry before. Here we report that mechanochemical f...

A new 2D titanium carbide (Ti3C2), a low dimensional material of the MXene family has attracted remarkable interest in several electronic applications, but its unique structure and novel properties ar...

Biomaterials have evolved from inert materials that lack interaction with the body to biologically active, instructive materials that host and provide signals to surrounding cells and tissues. Enginee...

Chocolate manufacture includes a complex tempering procedure to direct the crystallization of cocoa butter towards the formation of fat crystal networks with specific polymorphism, nano- and microstru...

There's no need to don uncomfortable smartwatches or chest straps to monitor your heart if your comfy shirt can do a better job.

If one layer of borophene is good, will two be better? Scientists hope so, because they've now made the elusive material.

New family of ferroelectric materials raises possibilities for improved information and energy storage.

Researchers investigated the influence of carbon nanodots on sonoluminescence effect, and they found that the color of sonoluminescence driven by intense ultrasound could be altered from ultraviolet-b...

Researchers have invented a new type of molecular trap that can hold a single protein in place for hours to study its natural behavior - a million times longer than before.

Scientists add foreign atoms to monolayer graphene in a controlled manner to selectively enhance its desirable properties.

Researchers have developed a new method for anchoring individual atoms in a controlled and stable manner on surfaces. This is an important step towards single atom catalysis.

Researchers at North Carolina State University have created a soft, stretchable device that converts movement into electricity and works in both dry and wet environments. advertisement "Mechanical ene...

Researchers from the University of Kent, the Research Institute for Environment Treatment and Vita-Market Ltd have discovered a universal mathematical formula that can describe any bird's egg existing...

A new study explains the science behind microscale concave interfaces (MCI) -- structures that reflect light to produce beautiful and potentially useful optical phenomena. advertisement "It is vital t...

There is a dictum to "never change a running system." New methods can however be far superior to older ones. While to date chemical reactions are mainly accelerated by catalytic materials that compris...
