SEM Imaging of Nanofibers Using Sputter Coating
1+ hour, 18+ min ago (773+ words) Nanofibers are fibers with diameters in the nanometer range. They can be produced from various polymers, leading to diverse physical properties and potential applications. Natural polymers include collagen, cellulose, and polysaccharides such as chitosan and alginate, while synthetic polymers include…...
New Mercury Based Material Achieves Highest Temperature for Zero Resistance
2+ hour, 37+ min ago (528+ words) For more than 30 years, a record in science held firm: minus 220 degrees Fahrenheit. It defined the highest achieved temperature for any material to become superconducting - able to carry electricity with no resistance - without the need for crushing pressures. In a…...
Tiny Nanogel Pores Push Blue Energy Toward Higher Power Density
10+ hour, 23+ min ago (209+ words) By building ion-selective nanogels inside single nanopores, researchers show how nanoscale charge control could help turn salinity gradients into a more powerful source of renewable electricity. To address these limitations, researchers have focused on advanced nanofluidic materials and soft polymer…...
UMass Amherst-led Team Discovers New Way to Make Thermally Insulative Plastics
21+ hour, 58+ min ago (291+ words) To reduce conductivity, Xu and her team used vibrational engineering so that, instead of strong firefighters efficiently passing big buckets from one person to the next, the polymer behaves like a group of disorganized toddlers " no two children are moving…...
Uncountable Launches Bodie, An AI Assistant That Changes How Scientists Work
1+ day, 21+ hour ago (152+ words) For example, suppose a scientist needs to find every experiment from the past year that used a specific ingredient, plot performance against cost, and share the results with the project team. With a single Bodie prompt, the chart is generated,…...
Engineers Manufacture World-First "Super Alloy
4+ day, 23+ hour ago (534+ words) Scientists have revolutionized the way metals are made by using lower and slower heating of alloys to control how atoms self-organize during material manufacturing. The discovery, published today in'Science'by Monash University engineers in Australia, essentially rewrites what has been a…...
