Researchers of Aalto University have developed new surface materials that are extremely difficult to wet both by...
Researchers have created a 3D printed cosmic microwave background - a map of the oldest light in the universe - and provided the files for download.
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is a glow that the universe has in the...

Research conducted at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University has shed new light on the structure of the nucleus, that tiny congregation of protons and neutrons found at the core of every...
The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment was one of the biggest efforts to directly detect dark matter. It was located a mile deep in a former gold mine to minimize radioactive "noise." . Credit: C.H. Faham. Courtesy of LUX...

Today, manufacturing strong magnets is no problem from a technical perspective. It is, however, difficult to produce a permanent magnet with a magnetic field of a specific pre-determined...
LLNL researchers were part of a team that demonstrated a bi-material microlattice structure, 3D printed from polymer and a polymer/copper composite material, that can flex inward, causing the structure to contract when exposed to heat over a range of...
For the first time, a team including scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have used neutron beams to create holograms of large solid objects, revealing details about their interiors in ways that ordinary laser light-based...
