February 11 marks International Day of Women and Girls in Science, a United Nations initiative to both celebrate groundbreaking talent in their respective fields and to recognize ongoing gender-based challenges.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: ST… Continue reading 11 trailblazers on International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2024
After sugarcane crops have been harvested, a great deal of fibrous stalk waste known as bagasse is left over. That substance has been incorporated into an eco-friendly building material called Sugarcrete, which recently won an international Climate Pos… Continue reading Sugar cane waste converted into concrete-beating Sugarcrete
Spider silk is widely known to be one of nature’s strongest and toughest materials. If everything works out as intended, an alfalfa-produced synthetic version of the stuff will be used in the construction of the Velozzi Hypercar … only 100 of which wil… Continue reading Velozzi Hypercar will have a body boosted by spider silk
With 2023 drawing to a close, it’s once again time to look at the significant, intriguing, and sometimes just plain daft science stories of the year. So, let’s dive in and see what the science types have been up to.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags… Continue reading The Year in Science 2023
It’s taken more than three decades, but scientists believe they have created a material that’s almost impossible to break and could rival diamond as the hardest substance on the planet.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, ScienceTags: University of Edi… Continue reading Unbreakable material nearly as tough as diamond, with high energy density
Prepare for a radical acceleration in technological development. A Google Deepmind AI has achieved “an order-of-magnitude expansion in stable materials known to humanity,” finding about 800 years’ worth of new materials with revolutionary potential.Con… Continue reading Deepmind AI tool catapults materials science 800 years into the future
Scientists at ETH Zurich have discovered a new type of magnetism. Experiments show that an artificially produced material becomes magnetic through a mechanism that hasn’t been seen before.Continue ReadingCategory: Physics, ScienceTags: Magnetic, Magnet… Continue reading Scientists discover strange new form of magnetism
Amidst all the (well-deserved) hype around graphene, it’s important to remember that its properties are not unique to carbon. More atoms can be coaxed into stable 2-dimensional configuration, with molybdenene …read more Continue reading Introducing Molybdenene As Graphene’s New Dirac Matter Companion
Scientists have found that a “superatomic” material is the fastest and most efficient semiconductor ever. Taking advantage of a tortoise-and-hare mechanism, the new material can transport energy much faster than silicon.Continue ReadingCategory: Electr… Continue reading “Superatomic” material beats silicon for fastest semiconductor ever
