In its purest form (with no extra debris), liquid water can exist as a liquid until -40°C if left still (unmoving). In order ...

Bacteria that colonize tiny plastic fragments drifting through the atmosphere can significantly enhance those particles’ ...

1. A research team consisting of NIMS, AGC Inc., and JASRI has succeeded in observing partial crystallization of a glass—an initial stage in its transformation into a stronger, more heat resistant ...

Materials that encourage mineralization, mimicking the process in the human body, are becoming increasingly important in medicine and technology. This process, which occurs at the interface between ...

Applying a high magnetic field simulates microgravity conditions that suppress melt convection in germanium single crystal ...

Can fungi influence the weather? Turns out, they just might. An international group of researchers that includes Virginia Tech's Xiaofeng Wang and Boris A. Vinatzer discovered the identity of fungal ...

Researchers in China developed a novel two dimensional (2D) seeding agent to regulate crystallization in a 1.80-eV wide-bandgap perovskite film. A perovskite-silicon tandem device made with the ...

Metal halide perovskites are promising for next-generation high-efficiency photovoltaic and optoelectronic devices due to excellent optoelectronic properties and solution processability. Recent ...
