Phys.org / Chemistry isn't always essential for order: How simple geometry gives rise to complex materials
Utrecht University researchers Rodolfo Subert and Marjolein Dijkstra show in their latest study that complex three-dimensional networks in materials can emerge from nothing more than particle shape. In Nature Communications ...
Phys.org / Ordered 'supercrystal' could make lasers faster, smaller and more efficient
An advance from Monash University could pave the way for faster, smaller, and more energy-efficient lasers and other light-based technologies. Engineers have developed a new type of perovskite material arranged into an ordered ...
Phys.org / Water molecules actively reshape chiral catalyst structure, research shows
Researchers have analyzed the stepwise hydration of prolinol, a molecule widely used as a catalyst and as a building block in chemical synthesis. The study shows that just a few water molecules can completely change the preferred ...
Medical Xpress / UK's growing synthetic opioid problem: Nitazene deaths could be underestimated by a third
The presence of nitazenes on the unregulated drug market has risen steeply in the last seven years—prompting UK and international bodies to issue public health warnings about their use. King's College London research, published ...
Tech Xplore / Humidity-resistant hydrogen sensor can improve safety in large-scale clean energy
Wherever hydrogen is present, safety sensors are required to detect leaks and prevent the formation of flammable oxyhydrogen gas when hydrogen is mixed with air. It is therefore a challenge that today's sensors do not work ...
