Most solid materials we rely on, from steel, to plastics and ceramics, are designed to have specific properties. Whether a ...
A study led by Northwestern University researchers has reported a way to observe hydrogel nano and microstructure while the hydrogel remains fully solvated. The approach reveals that methylcellulose, ...
A team of physicists has uncovered a hidden topological structure within one of the most widely used sources of quantum entanglement.
A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure – and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of the chemical characteristics.
Hidden semiconductor defects often pass inspection but fail later in operation. Learn how latent defects form, evade ...
Working at scales both simultaneously vast and incomprehensively nanoscopic, a team of thousands of designers, contractors, and craft workers delivered Intel’s 2.9-million-sq-ft chip fabrication ...
Neutral genetic markers can be used to monitor environmental change if populations undergo drastic reductions in size and interruptions in gene flow with other populations. Several attempts to monitor ...
