Study finds surface texture of gallium nitride affects cell behavior

Researchers have determined that the surface texture of gallium nitride (GaN) materials can influence the health of nearby cells. The work is significant because GaN is a material of interest for developing new devices that can control cellular behavior.

Computer taught to intuitively predict chemical properties of molecules

Scientists have developed a software package called Knodle to determine an atom's hybridization, bond orders and functional groups' annotation in molecules.

Crystal clear imaging: Infrared brings to light nanoscale molecular arrangement

Scientists have demonstrated infrared imaging of an organic semiconductor known for its electronics capabilities, revealing key nanoscale details about the nature of its crystal shapes and orientations, and defects that also affect its performance.

Temperature difference propels droplets

Method for moving fluids on a surface may find uses in condensers, microfluidics, and de-icing.

Bendable electronic paper displays whole colour range

Less than a micrometre thin, bendable and giving all the colours that a regular LED display does, it still needs ten times less energy than a Kindle tablet.
