In a series of experiments and simulations, the researchers showed that by adjusting light intensity, timing, and spatial patterns, they can trigger crystals to form or melt on demand, decide where ...
Researchers at NYU have developed a way to use light to precisely direct how microscopic particles assemble into crystals. The findings, published today (February 24) in the Cell Press journal Chem, ...
In the face of rising emissions from data centres, researchers are turning to micro-explosions in glass, and using DNA to solve big data's big problem.
If Northern Hemisphere snow cover keeps reaching the same general highs and lows year after year, that reinforces climate stability. If snow cover instead changes over the long term, the change nudges ...
Atoms measure roughly 0.1 nanometers across, a scale so small that scientists spent more than six decades developing ...
Applying a magnetic field to orient the acid crystals in the joints changes their reflectivity, leading to a noninvasive way ...
Borosilicate glass offers extreme stability; Microsoft’s accelerated aging experiments suggest the data would be stable for ...
Light can hit a lead halide perovskite crystal that is anything but pristine and still end up as useful electric current.
The 19th century poet Gerard Manley Hopkins paid homage to the kingfisher’s brilliant plumage in his poem “As Kingfishers ...
