New research shows that in the important ceramic material silicon carbide, carbon atoms collect at those grain boundaries when the material is exposed to radiation. The finding could help engineers better understand the properties of ceramics and could aid in fine-tuning a new generation of ceramic materials. • Email to a friend • A new technique offers a significant advance in using magnetic resonance imaging to pick out even very small tumors from normal tissue. • Email to a friend • Scientists report that they have obtained edge-induced room-temperature ferromagnetism in both carbon nanosheets and two-dimension (2D) organic antiferromagnetic polyradical nanosheets. • Email to a friend • A new study has provided the first-ever glimpse of the behavior of protons when water comes into contact with a solid surface, going down to the ultimate scale of single proton and single charge. • Email to a friend • Sandwich compounds based on rare earths might serve as novel molecular materials for more efficient storage media or displays in future. • Email to a friend • One day, 'microbial cyborgs' might be used in fuel cells, biosensors, or bioreactors. Scientists have created the necessary prerequisite by developing a programmable, biohybrid system consisting of a nanocomposite and the Shewanella oneidensis bacterium that produces electrons. • Email to a friend • An international team of researchers has developed an efficient way to create micro-combs and exploit them in highly performing and robust frequency multiplexed optical fibre networks. • Email to a friend • |
