Researchers have achieved a major breakthrough by microscopically studying molecular gases at a level never before achieved by previous research.

The findings could provide a new way to control chemical reactions.

Stacking light-emitting diodes instead of placing them side by side could enable fully immersive virtual reality displays and higher-resolution digital screens.

Nanoparticles containing epoxy groups adhere strongly to stainless steel surfaces, which leads to a significant reduction in friction.

Spintronics is a technology that utilizes the spin of electrons - in addition to their charge - in order to store and process information. Unlike traditional electronics, which rely on the movement of electrons to perform their functions, spintronics uses the intrinsic angular momentum of electrons to achieve the same results. Spintronics offers the potential to address some limitations of traditional, charge-based computing and it has the potential for developing new types of devices ...

In a new study, scientists found that a combination of silver nanoparticles and antibiotics was effective against antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

A new antimicrobial suture material that glows in medical imaging could provide a promising alternative for mesh implants and internal stitches.

An ultrathin protective coating proves sufficient to protect a perovskite solar cell from the harmful effects of space and harden it against environmental factors on Earth, according to newly published research.
