From brittle to plastic in one breath
May 05, 2015 (SPX)
What if peanut brittle, under certain conditions, behaved like taffy? Something like that happens to a two-dimensional dichalcogenide analyzed by scientists at ...
Rubber from dandelions
May 05, 2015 (SPX)
Dandelions deliver a desirable product: rubber. This is why the robust and undemanding plant has become the focus of attention of the rubber-producing industry....
The random raman laser
May 05, 2015 (SPX)
In modern microscope imaging techniques, lasers are used as light sources because they can deliver fast pulsed and extremely high-intensity radiation to a targe...
Invisibility cloaks move into the real-life classroom
May 05, 2015 (SPX)
Who among us hasn't wanted to don a shimmering piece of fabric and instantly disappear from sight? Unfortunately, we non-magical folk are bound by the laws of p...
ORNL probes chemistry, topography and mechanics with one instrument
May 05, 2015 (SPX)
The probe of an atomic force microscope (AFM) scans a surface to reveal details at a resolution 1,000 times greater than that of an optical microscope. That mak...
The microscopic topography of ink on paper
May 05, 2015 (SPX)
A team of Finnish scientists has found a new way to examine the ancient art of putting ink to paper in unprecedented 3-D detail. The technique could improve sci...
More is less in novel electronic material
May 03, 2015 (SPX)
Add water to a half-filled cup and the water level rises. This everyday experience reflects a positive material property of the water-cup system. But what if ad...
A silver lining
May 03, 2015 (SPX)
The silver used by Beth Gwinn's research group at UC Santa Barbara has value far beyond its worth as a commodity, even though it's used in very small amounts. T...
Northwestern scientists develop first liquid nanolaser
May 03, 2015 (SPX)
Northwestern University scientists have developed the first liquid nanoscale laser. And it's tunable in real time, meaning you can quickly and simply produce di...
Scientists create cheaper magnetic material for cars, wind turbines
May 03, 2015 (SPX)
Karl A. Gschneidner and fellow scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory have created a new magnetic alloy that is an alternative to traditi...
Synthesis of silicon oxides opens 'new world in a grain of sand'
May 03, 2015 (SPX)
In an effort that reaches back to the 19th-century laboratories of Europe, a discovery by University of Georgia chemistry researchers establishes new research p...
New model for the thermo-elasto-plasticity deformation of crystals
May 01, 2015 (SPX)
Researchers have proposed a new thermo-elasto-plasticity constitutive model based on the interatomic potential and solid mechanics for metal crystals. Through t...
Seeing Stars Through The Cloud
May 01, 2015 (SPX)
