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

Scientists used molecular simulations to reveal how polymer chains adhere to alumina surfaces. Adhesion depends on both polymer chemistry and surface termination, with different responses before and ...

Cryo-electron microscopy confirms that controlled alignment of Photosystem I on graphene boosts electron flow and durability ...

Researchers’ new method that delivers more control over halide perovskites could transform how solar cells, LEDs and lasers ...

Researchers uncover how the surface structure of silver iodide at the atomic scale triggers ice formation in clouds, ...

Imagine placing an object under a microscope and pressing a button to rearrange the surface atoms with atomic-scale precision. This once sci-fi scenario is now a reality thanks to pioneering research ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? The concept of aperiodic geometry has existed for at least 1,000 years from Islamic ...

Scientists have conducted a detailed examination of high-nickel-content layered cathodes, considered to be components of promise in next-generation lithium-ion batteries. Advanced electron microscopy ...

For years, scientists have known that phonons (vibrations of atoms) carry heat through solids. However, when two different materials come in contact, like in a computer chip, these vibrations often ...
