Nanostructured metamaterials have shown a lot of promise in what they can do in the lab, but often have fatal stress concentration factors that limit their applications. Researchers have now …read more Continue reading AI Helps Researchers Discover New Structural Materials
In a move akin to puncturing an egg yolk without breaking the shell or egg white, researchers have figured out how to pierce the nucleus of a cell without hurting the rest of the structure. The breakthrough could be big news for medical treatments.Cont… Continue reading Nuclei in human cells breached by innovative nanopillars
Perovskites hold enormous promise for generating solar energy, with the potential to provide lighter and cheaper cells than those made from silicon. Unfortunately, the material breaks down too rapidly to …read more Continue reading More Progress on Perovskite Solar Cells
Researchers have developed a silicon surface covered in nanosized spikes that is 96% effective in impaling and destroying a common virus responsible for causing respiratory illnesses, particularly in infants and young children. The technology could be … Continue reading Nanoscale spikes 96% effective at impaling and destroying common virus
3D printing technology is used not only to build things as large as houses, but also as small as snowflakes. A new material allows the latter to be much stronger than ever before, and to be printed considerably faster.Continue ReadingCategory: 3D Print… Continue reading Metal/polymer composite makes for stronger 3D-printed nanostructures
By taking some inspiration from nature and some from the way the synthetic fiber Kevlar is formed, scientists at MIT have developed self-assembling nanoribbons they say are stronger than steel. With their unique set of properties and means of fabricati… Continue reading Kevlar-inspired, self-forming nanoribbons are stronger than steel
