What would a room temperature superconductor mean for the energy sector?
While superconductors are not considered an energy material, the energy savings arising from resistance-free transmission and distribution of electricity are potentially massive when considered on a global scale.
Mayo Clinic researchers study new bioactive material for enhanced vascular healing
Researchers challenge the current paradigm for embolization with a safe and versatile embolic agent made from malleable and injectable hydrogels.
How sticky gold could “pull off” the next big thing in semiconductor technology
Pressing a layered crystal onto a gold surface is all it takes to pull off a 2D atomic layer, a method that outperforms scotch tape on industrially relevant scales.
Could there be life on Venus? Sighting of a rare molecule could be the answer
A possible marker of life has been spotted in the clouds of Venus and has astronomers excited about the possibility of extra-terrestrial “aerial” life on the harsh planet.
Imagining how “synthetic topology” could reform carbon dioxide catalysis
Solid-state physicists and materials chemists are now in excellent “shape” to expand and accelerate their explorations of the science of topological materials for a wide range of possible applications.
Lighting up the subcellular environment
Light-activated proteins enable scientists to study and engineer subcellular structures for research and biotechnological applications.
New antibiotic for deadly superbug could save tens of thousands of lives
New leads derived from an FDA-approved drug could provide potential therapeutic options for problematic vancomycin-resistant enterococci infections.
Getting oxygen to implanted cells
Before blood vessels reach implanted cells, they need a built-in oxygen source to keep them alive.
Jupiter’s moons could be warming each other
The gravitational push and pull by Jupiter’s moons could account for more warming than the gas giant Jupiter alone.
