Scientists Put Forth New Physics Rule to Locate Mechanical Strain

Recently, three scientists from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, addressing a physics problem that dates back to Galileo, have suggested a new method to the theory of how thin sheets can be forced to conform to “geometrically incompatible” shapes—similar to gift-wrapping a basketball—that depends on intertwining two fundamental ideas of geometry and mechanics that were long believed to be incompatible.

Multilayer Band Gap Discovered by DGIST Team Using Own Tech

Dr. Hyunmin Kim’s team in the Companion Diagnostics and Medical Technology Research Group and Professor Jae-dong Lee’s team in the department of Emerging Materials Science at DGIST proved the presence of upper band gap of atomic rhenium disulfide (ReS2) layers in the conductive atomic structure of ionization energy, through a collaborative research with Professor Jong-hyun Ahn’s research team at Yonsei University.

New Phenomenon May Lead To Better Understanding of Self-Organization in Complex Systems in Nature

Synchronization can be observed when two diverse systems oscillate in an identical way. This underlies many collective phenomena seen in nature, providing an example for emergent behaviors spanning from the acoustic harmony of cricket choruses to the behavior of the human brain.

Scientists Make Vital Discovery for ‘Smart’ Films and Encapsulation

Researchers from the University of Notre Dame has discovered that the properties of a material typically used to make protective or conductive films and encapsulate drug compounds—and the conditions in which this material will disassemble to discharge that drug—may be different than originally believed.

Researchers Remove Gaps to Improve the Stability of Perovskite Solar Cells

It is not known how to set up a defensive wall in a soccer game, and coaches would not prefer a gap between defensive players in the wall. Researchers, on their part, are also doing the same when they attempt to enhance the stability of perovskite solar cells, or PSCs.
