Scientists take a step towards expanding the use of magnetic fluids in medicine and technology. Credit: Peter the Great St.Petersburg Polytechnic University. Magnetic fluids are used in many different areas,...

The advance could cut production costs and reduce the size of microelectronics for sensing and communication. Light-emitting diodes — LEDs — can do way more than illuminate your living room....

Hypothesis for the ZT improvement of layered cobalt oxide. Ions with greater atomic mass (right) would increase ZT as they suppress thermal conductivity in the cobalt oxide layers. (Image: Yugo...

The new nanomaterial (improved hydrogen fuel production) will help extract hydrogen from the liquid energy carrier, which is an important step towards a stable and clean fuel source. Hydrogen is...
