Imagine a liquid that flows freely one moment, then stiffens into a near-solid the next, and then can switch back with a ...

SLNs are a type of nanocarrier used in drug delivery and vaccine development. They are composed of stabilized lipids and can ...

Researchers successfully freeze light into a supersolid, a groundbreaking discovery with potential applications in quantum computing and energy transport.

Here we use cryogenic electron microscopy to determine the structure of TbAQP2 from Trypanosoma brucei, bound to either the substrate glycerol or to the sleeping sickness drugs, pentamidine or ...

When invisible dark matter spins, it may form clumps of "vortexes" that stretch across space, forming the cosmic web that ...

The Center for Industrial Photonics (CIP) at the Institute for Manufacturing (IfM) has developed an additive manufacturing ...

But axions were pushed aside as the WIMPs hypothesis gained more steam. Back-of-the-envelope calculations showed that the ...

Solid particle erosion and wear mechanisms are critical phenomena influencing the longevity and reliability of engineering assets across diverse industries. These processes involve the constant ...

Scientists at the University of Michigan have unlocked a long-standing mystery about quasicrystals exotic materials that straddle the line between the orderly structure of crystals and the chaos of ...

A FBRM probe is inserted into the flowing oil and water medium of any concentration or viscosity. A highly focused laser beam ...

An international team of researchers have observed a phenomenon called virtual melting in colloidal crystals. They studied how it helps enable changes from one crystalline structure to another ...

Here, using a data-derived potential-assisted structure search, the authors predict the crystal structure of one of those phases, tI50, and show that it exhibits weak metallic character.
