What makes some plastics stick to metal without any glue? Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have peered into the ...

They measured the electrical current between an atomically sharp metallic tip and a superconductor and how the current depended on the separation between the tip and the superconductor. This enabled ...

Nanotechnology continues its march through the field of electronics, enabling faster and more energy-efficient computer processors, larger computer memory density and increased battery capacity. These ...

Superconductors are materials with no electrical resistance whatsoever, commonly requiring extremely low temperatures. They are used in a wide range of domains, from medical applications to a central ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a way to investigate the surface features of some materials. It works by “feeling” or “touching” the surface with an extremely small probe. This provides a ...

A new imaging technique enables atomic-scale clarity with compact, low-energy electron microscopes, making high-resolution microscopy more accessible worldwide. (Nanowerk News) A team of researchers ...

Researchers have observed hydrogen and deuterium molecules in tiny spaces called picocavities using advanced spectroscopy. This study reveals unique differences between the molecules due to quantum ...

Global warming is an existential threat to life on Earth. As our planet further industrializes, the release of greenhouse gases continues to rise. One of the foremost of those gases is carbon dioxide, ...
