Colorado team develop a new form of silicone that is more transparent than window glass, and a better thermal insulator than ...

A new microscopy technique allows scientists to see single-atom-thick boron nitride by making it glow under infrared light.

Remember the villain in the movie “Predator,” an alien that could stalk Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s character even in the dark of night using its thermal vision? Well, good news for anyone in Arnold’s ...

RAILWAY AGE, OCTOBER 2023 ISSUE: What exactly is stress? It’s a tough—and often-asked—question. Welcome to “Timeout for Tech with Gary T. Fry, Ph.D., P.E.” Each month, we examine a technology topic ...

Invisibility cloaks may not be a reality yet, but a new method of building materials with light could one day be used to make these kinds of cloaking devices, researchers say. The novel technique ...

A face-serum staple just helped a research team build an invisible film that conducts electricity like a metal. At La Trobe University in Melbourne, the group used hyaluronic acid to guide the growth ...

Researchers from the Physical Chemistry and Theory departments at the Fritz Haber Institute have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is ...

The purported "invisibility cloak" has been in the news before. However, University of California at Berkley researchers are on the cusp of something big. They've developed a material "that can bend ...

have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is usually nearly invisible in optical microscopes because it has no optical resonances. To ...
