“As science advances, ever more accurate measurements are both needed and achievable. But this improving accuracy must happen through measurement standards and their definitions. In November 2018, at the General Conference on Weights and Measures, the global metrology community agreed …
“By combining seaweed-derived alginate with the nanomaterial graphene oxide, Brown University researchers have developed a new material that’s durable and can respond dynamically to its environment. PROVIDENCE, R.I.[Brown University] — Brown University researchers have shown a way to …
“Researchers challenge conventional thinking with Jell-O comparison Adam Cohen, a professor of chemistry and chemical biology and of physics, is the lead author of a new study that challenges conventional theories about the fluid nature of cell membranes and how …
“Carbon fiber composites—lightweight and strong—are great structural materials for automobiles, aircraft and other transportation vehicles. They consist of a polymer matrix, such as epoxy, into which reinforcing carbon fibers have been embedded. Because of differences in the mechanical …
“First yeast biohybrid system using an adaptable light-harvesting semiconductor approach opens the door to more efficient and versatile biomanufacturing Genetically engineered microbes such as bacteria and yeasts have long been used as living factories to produce drugs and fine chemicals …
“Structurally, zero gravity means that we do not have to contend with architecture’s greatest arch-nemesis, gravity. This opens up a new world of possibilities where we can deploy structures that no longer have to counteract/resist gravitational force. We …
“Stanford researchers have developed an electronic glove that bestows robotic hands with some of the manual dexterity humans enjoy. Stanford engineers have developed an electronic glove containing sensors that could one day give robotic hands the sort of dexterity that …
“Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) Skunk Works® began manufacturing the first part for the X-59 Quiet Supersonic Technology aircraft, marking a milestone to bring supersonic commercial travel over land one step closer to reality. “The start of manufacturing on the project …
“A hybrid nanoantenna designed to manipulate visible light could one day help transmit information in tiny optical devices A nanoscale optical antenna developed by researchers at A*STAR allows the manipulation of visible light waves on the scale of microchips …
“Researchers have uncovered a new material that can produce both magnetism and superconductivity. In the physical world, one of the most incontrovertible truths is that magnetism and superconductivity are usually incompatible. Like two battalions of soldiers fighting over the same …
