A growing body of peer-reviewed research is building the case that aluminum, one of Earth’s most abundant metals, can match or outperform gold and silver in the field of plasmonics, the science of ...

Developed in Japan, the ultrafine "soft yarn" actuator fibers are capable of bending, contracting, and producing complex three-dimensional movements when electricity is applied.

A new review evaluates dielectric barrier discharge plasma technology for producing ammonia at ambient conditions, offering a renewable energy compatible path beyond the Haber-Bosch process.

Researchers developed hair-thin polymer fibers that bend and contract with electricity, enabling soft robotic actuators that can be woven into textiles.

Abstract: Lunar volcanic activity and its impact on near-surface material composition are central to lunar geological research. As of March 2024, the Yutu-2 rover has been operational on the Moon for ...

A study shows how high-thermal dielectrics outperform FR-4 for bulk heat spreading, with surface-mount thermal bridges ...

Abstract: As device dimensions shrink, the use of ELK dielectric becomes crucial for reducing interline capacitance and RC delay. However, ELK dielectric materials are susceptible to mechanical stress ...

Perovskite solar cells have surged from laboratory curiosities to serious contenders against silicon in barely a decade, yet the physics behind their remarkable energy harvesting has remained partly ...
