The ancient Romans were great builders, especially known for their aqueducts. These are still standing today because they were made with a special kind of concrete called pozzolanic concrete. This ...

Crystalline polymers assembled inside tumor cell lysosomes rupture membranes, release iron, and trigger immune-activating ...

IN the past five years, neutron diffraction analysis has been carried out with wide neutron beams and specimens of several cubic centimetres in volume, in order to obtain a manageable diffracted ...

X-ray crystallography is a technique used to reveal how the atoms of crystalline solids are arranged, relying upon the diffraction of X-ray radiation by the periodic atomic structure. Its continual ...

In nature, tiny crystals known as nanocrystals are formed slowly over many years. Rocks and minerals react with air, water, and carbon dioxide in a process called chemical weathering. These reactions ...

Toray creates spherical polyamide powder that delivers smoother surfaces and stronger parts for industrial 3D printing ...

Indian astronomers have investigated an ultraluminous X-ray pulsar in the galaxy NGC 4631, designated X-8. The new study, described in a paper published Feb. 16 on the arXiv preprint server, provides ...

Dip powder isn’t necessarily “good” for your nails (because no nail technique—other than having bare nails—truly is), but they shouldn't create any long-term damage either, so long as your technician ...

Defect-filled lead-halide perovskites rival silicon solar cells because domain walls inside the material separate and guide charges. Researchers visualized these charge-transport networks using a ...
