A customizable, fabric-like power source for wearable electronics

Researchers have created a customizable, fabric-like power source that can be cut, folded or stretched without losing its function.

'Chemical net' could be key to capturing pure hydrogen

MXene material could help produce clean-burning hydrogen fuel.

New molecular muscle responds to visible light

Picture a tiny, makeshift muscle that can curl a 20 milligram suspended weight when exposed to light. Under the right conditions, another mix packs enough power to bench-press a dime.

Diamonds show promise for spintronic devices

Scientists have measured how strongly a charge carrier's spin interacts with a magnetic field in diamond. This crucial property shows diamond as a promising material for spintronic devices.

Interstellar fullerenes may help find solutions for earthly matters

Fullerenes were first discovered by Harry Kroto in the 1970s, a feat for which he and his colleagues received a Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Recently, they have been found in winds emitted by red giants and in interstellar medium.

Scientists realize strong indirect coupling in distant graphene-based nanomechanical resonators

A research team has realized strong coupling between distant phonon modes, by introducing a third resonator as a phonon cavity mode. Varying the resonant frequency of the phonon cavity mode, the coupling strength between distant phonon modes can be continuous tuned.

Researchers develop flexible vertical micro LED (w/video)

Researchers have developed flexible vertical micro LEDs (f-VLEDs) using anisotropic conductive film (ACF)-based transfer and interconnection technology.
