Kim Morgan has spent the last decade getting really, really close up to blood cells, skin flakes and more. Her artwork using ...

As someone whose PhD was in solid-state materials chemistry, and who spent a lot of time characterising those materials, the ...

Prof. Dan Shechtman of the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology made the discovery that would later earn him the 2011 ...

The study identifies monolayer amorphous carbon (MAC) as a breakthrough in material science, exhibiting superior toughness ...

The short answer is; no. We will never see atoms using visible light, simply because the wavelength of visible light (around 400 to 700 nanometers) is larger than the size of an atom (around 0.1 to ...

Like graphene, MAC is also a 2D or single atom-thick material. But unlike graphene where atoms are arranged in an ordered ⎯ ...

Researchers have identified the mitochondrial calcium uniporter as a critical protein in the strengthening of synaptic ...

A new paper has demonstrated that improving the texture of the soft metal used in battery anodes greatly improved performance. The team added a thin layer of silicon between lithium metal and the ...

Research shows that modifying the texture of metals in batteries can boost performance, offering insights for next-generation ...
