In the small-scale details of grain shape, researchers have found a new way to understand how sediment flows in a river, a process shaping Earth’s landscapes.
As molecules from various substances interact to generate new molecules, the bonds between their atoms are altered. This is known as a chemical reaction.
About 10 years ago, scientists announced the discovery of a new class of ultrathin materials that could compete with the exceptional optical and electrical characteristics of graphene, a type of carbon discovered in 2004 that fascinates both scientists and en…
The resulting distortions are 'huge' compared to those in other materials, and represent the first demonstration of the Jahn-Teller effect in a layered material with a flat, planar lattice, like a high-rise building with evenly spaced floors.
Scientists developed a new model to improve the gripping performance of electroadhesive clutches in robots. Their upgraded cyber-hand was nearly 30 times stronger!
NASA’s been recruiting citizen scientists lately, and their latest call is looking for help from ham radio operators. They want you to make and report radio contacts during the 2023 and 2024 …
Scientific Reports - Modeling present and future distribution of plankton populations in a coastal upwelling zone: the copepod Calanus chilensis as a study case
Nyblom, Johnning et al. develop an optical DNA mapping approach for bacterial strain typing of patient samples. They demonstrate rapid identification of clinically relevant E. coli and K. pneumoniae strains, without the need for cultivation.
