Ferroelectric laser-generated crystals in glass may enable faster, more efficient optical communication systems
In an earlier experiment, researchers reported generating a new class of solid crystals by heating atoms within a glass matrix with a laser until they rearranged themselves into a rotating lattice. Their follow-up experiment proved that these laser-generated crystals could also keep their functionality as ferroelectric materials. A ferroelectric material is capable of undergoing electric polarization at […]

Researchers are developing an energy-efficient method of converting methane into carbon nanotubes
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is looking to get the most value out of the vast natural gas deposits in North America. It recently provided a big federal grant to Rice researchers, who would come up with an efficient yet inexpensive way to turn methane gas into carbon nanotubes. Being an allotrope, or alternative form of […]

New discoveries about one of the greatest artists in history: Experts have determined that Leonardo da Vinci was ambidextrous
For the longest time, experts believed that the great Leonardo da Vinci was a southpaw. But recent research by Italian scholars indicated that while the Renaissance master was born left-handed, he eventually became ambidextrous – proficient in the use of either hand with equal skill. The announcement came from the Uffizi Gallery, located in the famous artist’s hometown of […]

Japanese researchers develop a micro-electromechanical energy harvester that runs on ambient energy
Even as internet of things devices grow ever smaller, they continue to require more power. But most of these smart devices are too small to fit batteries and power cords might restrict them. This led Japanese researchers to refine an existing tool which could collect electromechanical energy from its surroundings. Their new energy harvester is called a micro-electronic mechanical system (MEMS). […]

Study: Is a “proton highway” the key to developing high-power batteries?
More than 200 years ago, a Lithuanian researcher came up with a theory regarding the transportation of electric charges through an electrolyte. Today, his concept of a “proton highway” could enable energy storage systems for electrical grids, electric vehicles, and other high-power uses. In a study supported by the Oregon State University and other academic […]

Researchers develop anti-reflection coatings that make transparent plastics “virtually invisible”
A Pennsylvania-based research team came up with an improved anti-reflection coating that reduces glare. When applied to transparent plastics, the layer made the plastic material invisible to the naked eye. The researchers were working on small and extremely efficient solar cells that gathered focused light from plastic lenses. They required an anti-reflection coating that could reduce the amount of light […]

Powering battery-free devices: Researchers develop flexible “rectennas” that convert Wi-Fi signals into electricity
For years, researchers have been developing “rectenna” that could turn Wi-Fi emissions into electrical energy so that electronic devices would be freed from the constraints of batteries and power cords. But the rectenna presented by an MIT-led team was the first example that could be flexed in any direction. Rectenna can turn any alternating current electromagnetic waves – including […]

Study: Can extended space travel increase an astronaut’s risk of cancer?
Astronauts make a lot of sacrifices in their line of work. The longer they stay in space, the more severely their health suffers. Latest research warns that long-term stays in space could drastically weaken the immune systems of astronauts, making them much more vulnerable to the onset and effects of deadly diseases like cancer. The […]

Researchers use new computational method to determine magnetic quantum effects in solids
An international team of researchers finally figured out how to predict the magnetic quantum effects on solid crystals. By using a different theoretical method, they could overcome some of the drawbacks of a long-standing model. The atoms and molecules of solid crystals are organized in 3D shapes. These structures give the crystal their distinct form and […]

Weird science: What is supercooling?
When the environment gets cold enough, liquid matter will switch from its intermediate phase to its solid form. But on certain occasions, liquid can maintain its fluid state in temperatures far below freezing point, a phenomenon that is dubbed “supercooling.” One of the most recent and impressive examples of this supercooling effect comes from Anchor Point, Alaska native Roderick Koop. […]
