A new 3D printing technique allows researchers to replicate biological structures, which could be used for tissue regeneration and replica organs.
Imperial College London researchers have developed a new method for creating 3D structures using cryogenics (freezing) and 3D printing...
This is an illustration showing structure of Bi2Se3-EuS bilayer film. On the top layer the depth profile of the magnetization vector distribution of Eu atoms is represented by green arrows. The light purple spheres represent Bi2Se3 interfacial layers magnetized...
Scientists have developed a 3D-printed robotic hand which can play simple musical phrases on the piano by just moving its wrist. And while the robot is no virtuoso, it demonstrates just how challenging it is to replicate all the...
When the tension rises, unexpected things can happen -- not least when it comes to gold atoms. Researchers from, among others, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have now managed, for the first time, to make the surface of a...
USC scientists have unlocked a new, more efficient pathway for converting methane - a potent gas contributing to climate change - directly into basic chemicals for manufacturing plastics, agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals.
In research published on Dec. 4 in the Journal of...

It may sound like science fiction, but wastewater treatment plants across the United States may one day...
Sila Kiliccote, head of SLAC's GISMo (Grid Integration, Systems and Mobility) lab, and Stanford graduate student Gustavo Cezar look at a computer dashboard showing how appliances, batteries, lighting and other systems in a "home hub" network could be turned...

Some day, your smartphone might completely conform to your wrist, and when it does, it might be covered...
Most of today's solar panels capture sunlight and convert it to electricity only from the side facing the sky. If the dark underside of a solar panel could also convert sunlight reflected off the ground, even more electricity might...
The nanofibers we produced are about 200 times thinner than cotton fibers. (a) Commercial sanitary napkins with fiber diameter ~30-40 micrometers; (b) Electrospun nanofiber-based prototype with fiber diameter ~ 200 nm. (Source: Yadav, Shital et al, Applied Materials Today,...
These are crystals of one of the materials that was discovered using the new method, as seen by an electron microscope. This is a structure with a very high methane deliverable capacity, making it promising for natural-gas-powered vehicles.
