Tribology—the study of friction, wear, and lubrication—is critical to the efficiency and durability of engines and other moving metal
Precision control of nanometer scale 3D fabrication has been a longstanding research goal. Now, researchers have developed a 3D simulation that
Scientists grew a vertically aligned nanocomposites lattice matched on a SrTiO3 (STO) substrate using laser deposition. These micrometer-thick
For the first time, scientists devised ordered arrays (superlattices) of nanoparticles, which organize in the same way that carbon atoms do within
Zinc-manganese oxide rechargeable batteries have been studied for more than 20 years, but the batteries usually stop working after a limited number
Current magnetic storage and recording devices, such as computer hard disks, contain nanomagnets with two polarities, each of which is used to
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless and odorless gas that is potentially fatal at elevated concentrations due to the prevention of oxygen flow to
The interactions of water with the surrounding rock matrix are responsible for geothermal energy, the formation of many ore deposits, and a number
Catalysis routinely allows an amazingly large number of chemical reactions to proceed under conditions where such reactions would ordinarily be
In recent years, lithium-ion batteries have saturated the electronics market due to their widespread use in cell phones, laptop computers, and
