Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have devised a new molecule-building method that is likely to have a major impact on the pharmaceutical industry and many other chemistry-based enterprises.
Discovered more than 125 years ago, liquid crystals play a significant role in screens of computer monitors and TV, watches, clocks and a variety of other electronics displays. Scientists are still attempting to improve the molecular makeup of these liquid crystals.
A new and direct method to transform gaseous methane into liquid methanol has been discovered by chemists at ETH Zurich and the Paul Scherrer Institute. This new discovery provides industry with a new method of using the gas, rather than the current method of burning it off.
A team of researchers from EPFL have constructed a single-atom magnet that possesses the highest stability to-date. The innovation will enable the scalable production of miniature magnetic storage devices.
Moving bodies can be attracted to each other, even when they’re quite far apart and separated by many other objects: That, in a nutshell, is the somewhat unexpected finding by a team of researchers at MIT.
In an effort to design novel materials for energy applications, scientists have developed a unique system to make artificial polymers that mimic the ubiquitous proteins, which are nature's own polymers and are involved in all aspects of life.
What happens if the symmetry of metamaterial is broken by the direction of illumination rather than by the material itself? Curiosity surrounding this question led a team of researchers from the University of Southampton to discover a new type of optical activity. The researchers have published their findings in Applied Physics Letters, from AIP Publishing.
Atomic charges in chemical solutions are like Switzerland—they strive for neutrality. The tendency to balance charges drives dynamics when charged atoms or molecules, called ions, are present in solutions. Recently, researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found new ways to influence selectivity for specific positively charged ions (cations) with the addition of simple receptors, not for cations but rather for negatively charged ions (anions).
A team of engineers has developed and tested a type of steel with a record-breaking ability to withstand an impact without deforming permanently. The new steel alloy could be used in a wide range of applications, from drill bits, to body armor for soldiers, to meteor-resistant casings for satellites.
New study highlights the role of electron diffusivity when turning waste heat into electricity
