The technique is based on the ability of protein complexes to maintain their shapes in the gas phase and yields information about the solution structure that is otherwise difficult to obtain. It ...

From medicine to electronics and optics, new materials developed by scientists at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) can be applied in various fields where cleanliness, precision, and durability ...

New approaches to creating shapes promise to simplify the design work behind the aesthetic surfaces found on consumer products. Pity the poor designers trying to generate eye-popping shapes for ...

A new method for shaping matter into complex shapes, with the use of 'twisted' light, has been demonstrated. A new method for shaping matter into complex shapes, with the use of 'twisted' light, has ...

Liquid-crystal elastomers—which contain heat-responsive liquid-crystal molecules embedded in a stretchy polymer—could one day be used to make soft robots and biomedical devices. Typically, researchers ...

Fast, high uniformity and superb coating quality – these properties not only apply to physical vapor deposition methods but also to atomic layer deposition (ALD). Espoo, Finland-based developer of ALD ...

(Nanowerk News) If you've ever spilled a drop of coffee on a surface, you might have noticed the curious way the color concentrates at the edges when the coffee dries. This is known as the "coffee ...

University of Sheffield researchers developed a machine learning framework to improve coating properties in a roll-to-roll slot die coating process. The work is seen as an initial step toward broader ...
