We're not talking about curries, mind.
Scientists at the University of Surrey have successfully modified ultra-thin graphene sheets to create the most efficient light-absorbent material to date
The solution comes to more than the entire number of subatomic particles in the universe.
Biophysicists at Johns Hopkins University think they know the secret to spider silk’s remarkable elasticity: protein threads that serve as stretchy “superstrings.” Read More >>
It's more than possible to change the melting point of chocolate, simply by tampering with its molecular structure.
An Aussia coastal grass could make condoms much, much thinner. Thinner is better.
The material could lead to windows that automatically adjust the amount of light that’s let in.
That could make it possible to create touch-sensitive robotic hands or even whole robotic medical assistants.
Rather than exhibiting symmetry in the structure — the way its atoms are arranged — this new type of crystal’s symmetry lies in how its particles move.
Shells are stronger because they have trapped proteins inside, and scientist had thought that these proteins were trapped like flies in amber. It turns out it’s way more organised than that.
