The science experimenters at TKOR use chemistry to create a device capable of producing vividly colored flames.

Relevant to this last application, the doping doesn’t alter the durability of the (very tough) carbon nanotube fibers. They ...

In materials science, if you can understand the "texture" of a material—how its internal patterns form and shift—you can ...

Brain tissue is an optical mess. Water, lipids, and tangled cellular membranes all bend light in different directions. If ...

Metal-organic frameworks, better known as MOFs, are among the most intensely studied materials for addressing major environmental challenges. Their highly ordered, ultra-porous architecture enables ...

By harnessing the unique properties of tantala (tantalum pentoxide), a team of US-based researchers has created a photonic integrated circuit that can be tuned to deliver laser light across a broad ...
