In materials science, if you can understand the "texture" of a material—how its internal patterns form and shift—you can ...

A light-sensitive crystal is opening the door to a new era of “light-written” technology. Arsenic trisulfide can be reshaped ...

A group of scientists and engineers that includes researchers from The University of Texas at Austin has created a new class of materials that can absorb low energy light and transform it into higher ...

If you ever wanted to stick a square peg in a round hole, it may soon be easier than you think. Researchers at the University of Colorado (CU) Boulder are working on a new material that responds to ...

Engineers at MIT have developed a new ultrathin material as light as plastic but stronger than steel. The durable material could be used in vehicles or electronics, and makes use of a manufacturing ...

Ultraviolet (UV) light has higher energy photons than visible light and, thus, has more applications. Researchers have now developed a brilliant innovation -- a solid-state material that can stably ...

Researchers at INRS and McGill University have developed a photochemical method to synthesize metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) at room temperature, reducing energy use while improving structural ...

It has been about two years since Yuri Milner announced his most audacious piece of science-focused philanthropy: Breakthrough Starshot, an attempt to send hardware to Alpha Centauri by mid-century.

Researchers at Koç University have developed a light-driven method to produce porous semiconducting polymers under ambient conditions without the need for metal catalysts. The study, led by Prof. Dr.

Scientists show laser light can push graphene in space, opening the door to fuel-free movement and control of future ...

New publication in Opto-Electronic Technology DOI 10.29026/oet.2026.260001 discusses empowering next-generation ...

Rethink architectural lightness as a balance of efficiency, sustainability, and responsibility in the face of global ...
