Researchers at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, and collaborators, have created light-driven polymer films that walk like inchworms and move like robotic arms. The films contain a polymer wh...

For decades materials scientists have been experimenting with a corkscrew-like polymer structure called a gyroid. Now an international team of researchers has shown that the gyroid structure can be...

Using a new technique, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have shown how DNA strands can be easily converted into nanoscale fiber optic cables that can guide light along the...

In general, when two solid (rough) surfaces are brought into contact with each other, an attraction occurs. The developed force that holds the two surfaces together is known as adhesion. Nicola Pug...

Impression Technology has perfected a new technology it calls Pure Heat, which offers a way to generate evenly distributed heat at a 70 percent electricity savings over conventional heating methods...

According to Bhavik Bakshi, professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at Ohio State University, nanomaterials can be extremely resource-intensive. “So if you compare steel with carbon nano...

Dirt accumulation on building exteriors has considerable problems for building maintenance. Cleaning building surfaces is generally done by using detergents accompanied with scrubbing, wiping and h...

A team of researchers at Yale University and the University of Washington has shown that the force of light can be harnessed to drive nanoscale machines.
“While the force of light is far too weak ...

Using computer modeling and a variety of advanced chip-manufacturing techniques, a team of physicists and engineers at MIT have increased solar photovoltaic cell efficiency of ultrathin silicon fil...
