Researchers synthesize carbon nanosolenoid with Riemann surfaces

Albert Einstein constructed equations of general relativity by adopting Riemann geometry. Riemann geometry has provided predictions for the properties of curved carbon materials, in...

Novel supporting material for photocatalyst powders’ recyclable application

Various photocatalyst powders can remove contaminants and microorganisms from water efficiently. But their practical application is limited due to poor recovery performance. Previous studies used...

Reducing nitroarenes to amines without need for extreme conditions or toxic reagent production

Scientists have developed a way to reduce nitroarenes to amines. It does not produce toxic reagents and does not involve extreme conditions. The study...

Ultrahard chiton teeth discovery offers clues to next-generation advanced materials

The teeth of a mollusk can not only capture and chew food to nurture its body. The marine choppers also hold insights into creating...

Treating cancer with light-sensitive nanoscale biomaterials

Treating cancer and other diseases with laser light is not considered routine in the clinical setting. New approaches using nanoparticles show some promise in...

Scientists used nanorobots to help clean heavy metals from polluted water

Scientists have developed nanorobots capable of removing heavy metals from polluted water. The study has been published in the journal Nature Communications. Scientists described their...

Arrays of metallic nanoparticles can form an optical cavity tunable by liquid crystals

The manuscript "Electric tuning and switching of the resonant response of nanoparticle arrays with liquid crystals" by Erik van Heijst and co-workers has been...

Researchers create strong synthetic enamel similar to natural tooth covering

Beihang University, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology and Michigan Institute of Translational Nanotechnology scientists have developed a synthetic enamel with properties similar...

Scientists build a silicon quantum computer chip atom by atom

University of Melbourne researchers have found a technique for embedding single atoms in a silicon wafer one-by-one. The new technology has the potential to...

Magnetic ‘hedgehogs’ could store big data in a small space

Researchers found out an atomic-scale magnetic pattern that looks like hedgehog spikes can provide hard disks with much larger capabilities than it has today....

Spiderweb inspires to create precise microchip sensor

TU Delft researchers have designed one of the world's most precise microchip sensors. This device will also be able to work in room temperature....

The surprising mystery behind the formation of soot

After global methane and carbon dioxide emission, soot is one of the worst contributors to climate change. Soot particles absorb solar radiation and heats...

Scientists improved solar evaporation for water purification

Solar-thermal interfacial evaporation has proved to be an excellent way to purify water. As global drinking water scarcity has become a severe problem to...
