More efficient conversion of heat into electricity by tinkering with nanostructure A graphical abstract of the research. Courtesy: Delft University of Technology. Thermoelectric materials convert heat into electricity, which makes ...
It’s what on the inside that counts The new metamaterial designed by the researchers. Image Courtesy: Coulais et al. Sometimes, the inside of a material can determine what happens on ...

The eye is made up of many facets, which are themselves covered by a thin layer of protuberances a few tens of nanometres high. 1 micrometer (mm) = 1000 nanometers ...
Color change: The right microcylinder printed with the novel photoresist appears white, because light is scattered in its sponge-like structure, whereas the cylinder printed with conventional photoresist appears transparent. Courtesy: ...
Researchers at Rice University's Laboratory for Nanophotonics (LANP) have long known that a nanoparticle's shape affects how it interacts with light, and their latest study shows how shape affects a ...
Researchers have used biosolids to produce hydrogen from wastewater, in new technology that supports the comprehensive recycling of one of humanity’s unlimited resources — sewage. The innovation focuses on the ...
Physicists from Lancaster University have established why objects moving through superfluid helium-3 lack a speed limit in a continuation of earlier Lancaster research. Helium-3 is a rare isotope of helium, ...
