Researchers successfully print and demonstrate organic transistors, electronic switches, which can operate close to their theoretical speed limits. They showed high-speed operation only requires low ...

Researchers Develop Tools to Sharpen 3D View of Large RNA Molecules

Scientists developed a method for generating high resolution 3D images of RNA, overcoming challenges limiting 3D analysis and imaging of RNA to only small molecules and pieces of RNA for the past 50 ...

High-Speed Photos Shine a Light on How Metals Fail

How things deform and break is important for engineers, as it helps them choose and design what materials they're going to use for building things. Researchers have stretched metal alloy samples ...

Biochip Innovation Combines AI and Nanoparticle Printing for Cancer Cell Analysis

Researchers describe how they combined artificial intelligence, microfluidics and nanoparticle inkjet printing in a device that enables the examination and differentiation of cancers and healthy ...

Diamonds Are a Quantum Scientist's Best Friend

New research details the phenomenon of what is called 'triplet superconductivity' in diamond. Triplet superconductivity occurs when electrons move in a composite spin state rather than as a ...

Molecular Swarm Rearranges Surface Structures Atom by Atom

Researchers have now developed a molecular tool which makes it possible, at the atomic level, to change the structure of a metal surface. The restructuring of the surface by individual molecules - ...

Intelligent Nanomaterials for Photonics

2D materials - combined with optical fibers - can enable novel applications in the areas of sensors, non-linear optics, and quantum technologies. However, combining these two components has so far ...

Unusually Shallow Earthquake Ruptures in Chinese Fracking Field

An unusually shallow earthquake triggered by hydraulic fracturing in a Chinese shale gas field could change how experts view the risks of fracking for faults that lie very near the Earth's ...

Aerodynamicists Reveal Link Between Fish Scales and Aircraft Drag

A new research study has revealed that fish scale arrays generate a streaky base flow on the surface of the animal which yields important clues into reducing drag - the aerodynamic force that opposes ...

New Findings Pave the Way to Environmentally Friendly Supercapacitors

Similar to batteries, supercapacitors are suitable for the repeated storage of electrical energy. Researchers have now presented a particularly safe and sustainable variant of such a ...
