Scientists have developed a new method for building microrobots that could be used in the body to deliver drugs and perform other medical operations. For the past few years, scientists around the…
Newly discovered material property may lead to high temp superconductivity
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Ames Laboratory have discovered an unusual property of purple bronze that may point to new ways to achieve high temperature superconductivity. While studying purple…
World’s most sensitive dark matter detector completes search
The LUX Dark Matter Experiment operates a mile underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. It’s location helps shield the detector from background radiation that could confound a dark matter signal.
Researchers demonstrate room-temperature ferroelectric states in thin (2D) tin-tellurium film
Just as magnetic materials have opposing North and South poles, ferroelectric materials have opposing positive charges and negative charges that exhibit measurable differences in electric potential. MIT Researchers recently demonstrated this ferroelectric…
Building Lab Instruments One Block at a Time. 3D-printed Lego-like Science Tools
A team of researchers and students at the University of California, Riverside has created a Lego-like system of blocks that enables users to custom make chemical and biological research instruments quickly, easily…
