Graphene becomes superconductive -- Electrons with 'no mass' flow with 'no resistance'
This is the crystal structure of Ca-intercalated bilayer graphene fabricated on SiC substrate. Insertion of Ca atoms between two graphene...
Breaking cell barriers with retractable protein nanoneedles: Adapting a bacterial structure, Wyss Institute researchers develop protein actuators that can mechanically puncture cells
In this time-lapse, retractable protein actuators called "R bodies" - found naturally in certain bacteria - are seen extending from barely-...
Earth-like Planets Have Earth-like Interiors
Replacement of Toxic Antibacterial Agents Possible by Biocompatible Polymeric Nanocomposites
Astronomers Report Results of First Search for Visible Light Associated with Gravitational Waves.
Einstein's general theory of relativity predicts the emission of gravitational waves by massive celestial bodies moving though space-time. For the past century gravitational waves have eluded a direct detection, but now the LIGO Virgo Collaboration...
A metal that behaves like water: Researchers describe new behaviors of graphene
It's one atom thick, stronger than steel, harder than diamond and one of the most conductive materials on earth.
Particles in Love: Quantum Mechanics Explored in New Study
Here's a love story at the smallest scales imaginable: particles of light. It is possible to have particles that are so intimately linked that a change to one affects the other, even when they are separated at a distance.
The Magic of Microbes: ONR Engineers Innovative Research in Synthetic Biology
An exciting new scientific frontier-synthetic biology-took center stage as a celebrated scientist from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) recently spoke at the headquarters of the Office of Naval Research (ONR).
