Twisted Graphene is Science’s Hottest New Topic

Atom-sized superconductors discovered with a simple angle adjustment. Just a year ago, scientists presented results that seemed almost too good to be true: Carbon sheets only a single atom thick, called graphene, took on a pair of important physical properties when they were twisted at just the right "magic" angle relative to one another.

Scientists develop organic materials for electronics

Argonne researchers develop an advanced way of developing organic materials for electronics The U. S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has developed a method on how to control the electronic structure of organic electronics.

Quantum Computing: Trying to Scratch the Surface

A ground level expalantion of quantum computing In reference to a recent article titled 'Quantum Computer Time Reversal: Can It Happen?', I would like to try to explain how quantum computing works.

Key evidence associating hydrophobicity with effective acid catalysis

Quantitative analysis of dense siloxane gels shows water can hinder catalytic activity Tokyo, Japan - Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have shown that the tunable hydrophobic nature of dense siloxane gels is strongly correlated with their catalytic activity, explicitly demonstrating how molecules with different hydrophobic nature at the molecular level interact differently with surfaces of differing hydrophobicity.

Researchers develop a self-healing electronic skin

An electron skin inspired by jellyfish is developed by NUS researchers The National University of Singapore (NUS) researchers have developed a jellyfish-inspired electronic skin that has self-healing properties in aquatic environments.

A Liquid Metal with T-1000-like Properties Has Been Created

Chinese researchers create a new metal composite that can be manipulated by magnets. Researchers in China have created a Terminator-like liquid metal that has the ability to stretch horizontally and vertically, as well as change shapes.

Inert nitrogen forced to react with itself

Constituting over 78 % of the air we breathe, nitrogen is the element found the most often in its pure form on earth. The reason for the abundance of elemental nitrogen is the incredible stability and inertness of dinitrogen (N2), a molecule comprising two nitrogen atoms and the form in which most nitrogen exists. Only in very harsh environments, such as in the ionosphere, can dinitrogen be assembled into longer nitrogen chains, forming N4 ions with very short lifetimes.

Time reversal through quantum computers

Scientists discover how to reverse time Valerii Vinokur and his team of scientists from the U. S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory successfully returned a computer briefly to the past.

Obtaining Water From Thin Air

Everything from Nothing Did you know that palatable water can be collected from thin air? No, it's not magic, it's science! Everyday, people all over the world search for new ways to maximize renewable resources, and pulling water from seemingly nothing is one of the groundbreaking methods we have come up with.

Glass: The Science Behind It

A look into making an everyday unnoticed luxury. Glass is one of those everyday luxuries that over the years has become an unnoticed magic of science. Glass is used in every country, it can be found in every building and every car.
