The University of Bristol engineers have developed a new shape-changing metamaterial. This metamaterial was created using an ancient Japanese art known as Kirigami. In Kirigami, 3D shapes are obtained by cutting and folding paper.
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a special group of porous solids, and today are regarded as one of the hottest new materials.
Researchers from the Imperial College London have suggested that it is possible to create a new form of light by coupling light into a single electron. The resulting light has the properties of both the electron and the light.
A highly breathable material with the ability to give protection against biological agents has been created by a group of researchers from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory as part of the work aiming at protecting soldiers from chemical and biological threats.
A battery capable of storing energy in a biologically-derived unit has been developed by a team of chemists from the University of Toronto (U of T), opening the door for cost-effective, environmentally friendly consumer electronics.
After she studied fuel cells at Montana State University, Erica Eggleton was keen to continue research activities either with a college or in industry.
Action figures of the Man of Steel are rarely made from steel. These figures, like everything else that exists in everyday life, are made of plastic that is easy to mold and cost-effective.
A new way to predict which alloys will produce metallic glasses has been discovered by scientists. The research could lead to new powerful, conductive materials.
A reaction resembling a type proton pinball game enables a thin layer of moisture present on the surface of catalysts to enhance the effectiveness of the fuel cells. These cells are devices that convert chemical energy - such as a fuel like hydrogen - directly into electricity without discharging greenhouse gases in emissions. IOM CNR/SISSA coordinated the study.
Silicon particles that could lead to the development of “biointerface” devices have been engineered by a group of scientists from the University of Illinois at Chicago, the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Argonne National Laboratory, the University of Chicago, and Northwestern University.
