When light passes through materials, it typically changes direction and bends in predictable ways. This change in direction, known as refraction, is caused by a change in the speed of light as it ...

In contrast, the new battery is a more direct reimagination of Edison’s idea, in that it focuses on the battery itself as ...

Living with a brain disorder often means relying on medication that does not work for everyone and, in some cases, surgery. EU-funded researchers are now investigating whether nanotechnology could one ...

From ethical lapses to systemic academic pressure, experts explain why retractions are increasing, and why correction ...

Neutral particles can outpace diffusion in electric fields, shifting motion regimes over time; the model predicts behavior in ...

Whether it’s the ocean’s deepest hydrothermal vents or tall mountain peaks, bacteria is likely surviving and thriving. Ice caves can host a wide variety of microorganisms and offer biologists a bevy ...

RMIT researchers have combined natural compounds with nanotechnology to develop a groundbreaking approach to eye health.

Researchers at St. Petersburg University have developed an efficient way to detect a crucial immunity biomarker—neopterin—in the blood using nanotechnology and a laser. Neopterin is a nucleotide whose ...

“The hairs on the head, body, and tail of Asian elephants are stiff from base to tip, which is what we were expecting when we ...

This solution includes starch sachets reinforced with nanoparticles featuring powdered or granulated fertilizers, with the collaborators explaining that starch is a biodegradable polymer that in ...

Researchers have shown theoretically that, in highly ordered materials, heat can flow toward warmer regions without violating the laws of thermodynamics. Their work could help design electronics that ...
