Nudibranchs are often referred to as the butterflies of the sea. Nudibranchs live worldwide, primarily in warm, shallow marine regions, and stand out for their flamboyant colors and diverse shapes. A ...

Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have created a supersolid, a state of matter that simultaneously behaves like a rigid crystal and a frictionless fluid, at room temperature by pumping ...

Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) have created a new and unusual state of matter—known as a supersolid—by engineering how light and matter interact inside a nanoscale device. The ...

A phone screen you can't scratch no matter how many times you drop it; glasses that prevent glare; a windshield that doesn't get dusty. These are all possibilities thanks to a new way to produce ...

a) Photograph of HV precipitates collected from the Shinkai Seep Field. b) Cross-polarized optical microscope images of precipitates in cross section. c,d) Scanning electron images showing layers ...

Scientists from the RNA Institute at the University of Albany (UAlbany) have developed new methods for designing and assembling DNA nanostructures that enhance their potential for use in various ...

The chemical composition of a material alone sometimes reveals little about its properties. The decisive factor is often the arrangement of the molecules in the atomic lattice structure or on the ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Chirality is a property of objects that exist in different forms that are mirror images of each other but cannot be superimposed, like left hand and right hand. It is a common ...

Large metal surfaces coated with precisely formed nanostructures have so far remained in the realm of fantasy. The obstacle standing in the way of their production seemed fundamental, as it resulted ...

Most drugs used today have only one mechanism of action and it is both difficult and expensive to manufacture drugs with multiple functions. Researchers have recently found a way to create more stable ...
