Aug. 4, 2021 Some artists are embracing 3D printing as a new medium, allowing them to create intricate 3D compositions that are difficult to produce in any other way. But the rigid, plastic-based materials used ...
Oct. 20, 2022 Pyroxenes are a major group of rock-forming minerals. Scientists investigated the iron ion status of a calcium-rich pyroxene, using Mössbauer spectroscopy on thin sections of single crystals. The ...
Nov. 11, 2021 Researchers have developed a sustainable, plastic-free glitter for use in the cosmetics industry -- and it's made from the cellulose found in plants, fruits, vegetables, and wood ...
July 7, 2022 Muscovite mica (MuM) is a highly stable mineral that is commonly used as an insulator. However, the electrical properties of single-layer and few-layered MuM are not well understood. Now, a group of ...
Dec. 17, 2021 By mixing a small peptide with equal amounts of its mirror image, scientists have created an unusual protein structure known as a 'rippled beta sheet' and obtained images of it using x-ray ...
Jan. 11, 2023 A team of chemical engineering researchers studied the mechanisms of drying the nanocrystals and proposed nanotechnology to render the nanocrystals highly redispersible in aqueous mediums, while ...
Oct. 21, 2021 Tap water produces a natural protective shield against harmful microplastics, which can help prevent household products such as plastic kettles from releasing ...
July 11, 2022 Buildings made of porous rock can weather over the years. Now scientists have studied in detail how silicate nanoparticles can help save them. Many historical buildings were built of sandstone. It is ...
Aug. 3, 2022 Using single calcite crystals with varying surface roughness allows engineers to simplify the complex physics that describes fault movement. Researchers now show how this simplification may lead to ...
Sep. 21, 2022 Material science and engineering and medical faculty members experimented with a material that has antiviral properties that are activated by white light, such as sunlight or LED ...
