Artificially designed, amyloid-silk hybrid protein developed in Zhang lab even outperforms...
Spider silk is said to be one of the strongest, toughest materials on the Earth. Now engineers at Washington University in St. Louis have...
‘Edge of chaos’ opens pathway to artificial intelligence discoveries
Some neuroscience theories suggest the human brain operates best 'at the edge of chaos'. Now scientists have found that keeping a nanowire network at...
‘Flashed’ nanodiamonds are just a phase, research team finds
Nanodiamonds were first discovered in the 1960s and are microscopic crystals—or regions of crystals—that display the same carbon-atom lattice that macro-scale diamonds do. They...
Not graphene: Researchers discover new type of atomically thin carbon material
Scientists discover a new allotrope of carbon that is similar to graphene. As with graphene, it is only one atom thick. However, unlike graphene,...
