Water That Never Freezes

Making ice cubes is a simple process: you take a plastic ice-cube tray like you'd find in most households, fill it with water and put it in the freezer. Before long, the water crystallizes and turns to ice.

New Sensor Can Detect Toxic Gases

Scientists develop MOFs that can be used in detecting gases People require good air quality to work especially in small enclosed spaces. A KAUST team has developed electronic sensors that can monitor at least three critical parameters that are significant in the safety of humans.

'Terminator'-like Liquid Metal Moves and Stretches in 3D Space

In the blockbuster Terminator movie franchise, an evil robot morphs into different human forms and objects and oozes through narrow openings, thanks to its "liquid-metal" composition. Although current robots don't have these capabilities, the technology is getting closer with the development of new liquid metals that can be manipulated in 3D space with magnets.

Athletic Injuries to be Treated Through 3D-Printed Tissues

Scientists develop a new technology that has the potential to heal athletic injuries Athletes who have faced injuries related to sports events may find treatment through the 3D-printed artificial tissues developed by researchers from Rice University and the University of Maryland.

Odderon Particles: The Most Non-Particle Particles

Physicists detect the not-really-a-particle particle. An odderon is a particle that's even odder than its name suggests. It's a particle that isn't really a particle at all, confused yet? What we think of as particles are usually very stable: electrons, protons, quarks, neutrinos and so on.
