Researchers have developed a methodology that makes it possible for the first time to observe under the microscope, in real time, what happens when glass is heated and changes to a supercooled liquid phase, known as the 'glass transition'.
Scientists detail the mechanism and promise of using iron as a catalyst to transform waste biomass, such as wood chips and other cellulose-rich biomass, into value-added carbon materials.
Integrated microfluidic platforms that combine automated sample preparation with on-chip nucleic acid amplification tests enable rapid, accurate molecular diagnostics at home for improved preventive medicine and biosecurity.
An electron's topology is closely linked to its quantum mechanical wave properties and its spin. This relationship has now been demonstrated directly by means of the photoelectric effect - a phenomenon in which electrons are released from a material, such as metal, with the aid of light.
Defying conventional wisdom, researchers have uncovered a novel coupling mechanism involving leaky mode, previously has been considered unsuitable for high-density integration in photonic circuits.
Scientists have fabricated a single dimer and monomer junction of naphthalenethiol (NT) molecule and conducted a detailed examination of their structure and electron transport properties using combined optical and electrical measurements.
