Room temperature liquid metal structures- free article access
Researchers have developed three-dimensional printing technology and techniques to create free-standing structures made of liquid metal at room temperature.
MIT researchers develop optical transistor
Researchers describe the experimental realization of an optical switch controlled by a single photon, allowing light to govern the transmission of light.
Graphene ties carbon fiber in knots
Large flakes of graphene oxide are the essential ingredient in a new recipe for robust carbon fiber created at Rice University.
Metallic bubble wrap superior to traditional alternatives
Bubble wrap is lighter, stronger and more flexible than sheet metal and more heat- and chemical-resistant than plastic or other polymer-based bubble wraps.
Team uncovers longstanding error in mixed phase titania catalysis
A breakthrough in our understanding of the properties of titania – the basis of self-cleaning window technology – has been made by scientists at UCL.
New pickling tape simplifies treatment of aluminum
New tape is safer than existing treatment methods because there is no rinsing stage and hence no need for complicated wastewater disposal.
