AMES, Iowa – Martin Thuo likes to look for new, affordable and clean ways to put science and technology to work in the world. His lab is dedicated to an idea called frugal innovation: “How do you do ...

Self-assembling electronics made from liquid metal particles could provide a cheaper way of manufacturing computer chips, simply by harnessing the basic physics of how fluids flow through tiny ...

Through laser-induced microbubbles, EGaIn colloidal particles are precisely arranged on a glass surface, creating ultrathin, conductive, and flexible wiring. Yokohama, Japan -- As tiny as bubbles may ...

A method for the comprehensive analysis and characterization of nanoplastics in liquids has been developed. A collaboration between Graz University of Technology and the biotech company BRAVE ...

(Nanowerk News) Glass might seem to be an ordinary material we encounter every day, but the physics at play inside are actually quite complex and still not completely understood by scientists. Some ...

Theoretical physicists along with an experimental team have found evidence of a quantum spin liquid in a material known as pyrochlore cerium stannate. They achieved this by combining state-of-the-art ...
