Materials researchers significantly improve the performance of hydrogel actuators. Robots made of metal and other solid materials are already widely used in industry. But they are too rigid and cumbersome…
How can we halt biodiversity declines? A new study led by the Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change (LIB) shows possible solutions for agricultural landscapes. The study shows…
National University of Singapore (NUS) scientists demonstrated a conceptual breakthrough by fabricating atomically precise quantum antidots (QAD) using self-assembled single vacancies (SVs) in a two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD)….
Scientists in Mainz and Kaiserslautern use molybdenum for photocatalysis and photon upconversion. Given the urgent need for transforming how we use and produce energy, researchers are working hard to find…
New research by an international team of scientists explains what’s behind a stalled trend in Arctic Ocean sea ice loss since 2007. The findings indicate that stronger declines in sea…
Stampede2 simulations help capture helium gas clouds escaping distant planet. A planet about 950 light years from Earth could be the Looney Tunes’ Yosemite Sam equivalent of planets, blowing its atmospheric ‘top’…
