This video from Metal Supermarkets explains what normalizing is and how it alters a metal’s characteristics.
A graphene ‘tattoo’ could help hearts keep their beat
In rats, a graphene “tattoo” stuck to the heart could treat an abnormally sluggish beat. Like a futuristic pacemaker, the device delivered electrical signals that kept the heart pumping properly.
New self-driving lab accelerates discovery process for materials
Researchers have a new scientific tool called Polybot, combining the power of artificial intelligence with robotics. Potential applications include speeding up the discovery of wearable biomedical devices, materials for better batteries and more.
New metric helps researchers better understand soft material behavior
The mechanics behind the collapse of soft materials structure have befuddled researchers for decades. In a new study, researchers uncover a metric that finally correlates microscopic-level processes with what is seen at the macroscopic level.
New Transistor from a Germanium–Tin Alloy Developed
At the Forschungszentrum Jülich, a new kind of transistor from germanium–tin alloy has been fabricated by scientists. The alloy comes with many benefits over traditional switching elements.
