An advance in molecular moviemaking shows how molecules respond to two photons of light

Hitting molecules with two photons at once set off unexpected processes that were captured in detail with an X-ray laser; the new approach should yield new insights into molecular behavior.

Self-assembly required: Neutrons probe novel polymer behavior for biomedical materials

A versatile class of flexible, protein-like polymers could significantly advance future drug delivery methods. But first, scientists have to develop a reliable process for tailoring these polymers into shapes that can effectively transport medicines throughout the human body.

'White graphene' aerogel material creates pleasant laser light

Research team develops an extremely porous material made of 'white graphene' for new laser light applications.

Recyclable nanofiber filtered face masks in times of Coronavirus

Researchers announced that they have developed a nanofilter that maintains excellent filtering efficiency even after hand washing.

Magnetic measurements reveal 'Kagome-Spin-Ice' state

Scientists found a new flavor of magnetic monopoles in a material which is even electrically conducting. This is the first realization of a state called kagome spin ice.

Fish scales could make wearable electronics more sustainable

New research describes a way to make electronic tattoo displays, which would likely be discarded after a single use, more environmentally friendly using a plentiful and biodegradable resource: fish scales.
