Innovation could eliminate, once and for all, the fog on eyeglasses, windshields, goggles, camera lenses, and on any transparent glass or plastic surface.

Researchers have found a way to improve the performance of ferroelectric materials, which have the potential to make memory devices with more storage capacity than magnetic hard drives and faster write speed and longer lifetimes than flash memory.

Researchers have solved a long-standing problem in the design of mechanical resonators: the numerical prediction of the design-limited damping.

Scientists now have a better understanding of why spider silk fibers are so incredibly strong

Imagine a material that's stronger than steel, but just as versatile as plastic, able to take on a seemingly endless variety of forms

Most people cross borders such as state lines without thinking much about it. Yet not all borders are places of limbo intended only for crossing

A new way of splitting layered materials, similar to graphite, into sheets of material just one atom thick could lead to revolutionary new electronic and energy storage technologies.

A discovery made at could play an important role in electronics, allowing us to make transistors that are smaller and more energy efficient

Researchers from North Carolina State University have now developed a new technique that reduces defects in the gallium nitride (GaN) films used to create LEDs, making them more efficient

Researchers are developing a new class of "plasmonic metamaterials" as potential building blocks for advanced optical technologies, including ultrapowerful microscopes and computers, improved solar cells, and a possible invisibility cloak.
