In a study recently published in the journal Small, researchers from Nano Life Science Institute (WPI NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, Japan, collaborating with Professor Sarikaya, Seattle, U.S., used ...

Researchers at Duke University have uncovered the molecular inner workings of a material that could underpin next-generation rechargeable batteries. Unlike today's popular lithium-ion batteries that ...

Scientists at the University of Birmingham have developed a multi-responsive smart gel that can switch between solid-like and ...

Solid materials are generally known to be rigid and unmoving, but scientists are turning this idea on its head by exploring ways to incorporate moving parts into solids. This can enable the ...

Researchers have found that organic vapor can dissolve molecular salts in a phenomenon known as organic deliquescence. Similar to how water vapor can induce deliquescence of compounds like calcium ...
