Two-dimensional materials have been creating a buzz recently, ever since scientists were able to isolate graphene. Research into other 2D materials abounds, as these have potential applications in a ...

Robots used to be restricted to heavy lifting or fine detail work in factories. Now Boston Dynamics’ nimble four-legged robot, Spot, is available for companies to lease to carry out various real-world ...

University of Chicago scientists have discovered a way to create a material that can be made like a plastic, but conducts electricity more like a metal. This could be very important as the ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nano Letters, researchers from the University of Sharjah found that titanium and sulfur nanoribbons can undergo drastic changes in characteristics when ...

We've found the first metal that can conduct electricity with hardly any heat at room temperature, breaking a long-standing rule of materials science. We don't know whether it's good for anything, but ...
