Cornell researchers have developed a new way to create moiré patterns – atomic-scale structures that can give materials

Volcanic minerals may help drones absorb radar, but tests haven't confirmed the claim.

A newly developed biomaterial derived from natural and pharmaceutical components is showing promise as a potential treatment for periodontitis. What if a fruit best known for its massive size could help repair the damage caused by one of the world’s most common causes of tooth loss? Researchers in Brazil have developed an experimental biomaterial that [...]

A nanoscale fabric coating repels stains and microbes using only tap water.

Scientists have developed “living plastics” that can be programmed to break themselves down when triggered. Many plastic items are made for one-time use, but the materials can remain in the environment for years. Researchers are exploring a different approach: living plastics, materials built with microbes that can be activated to break down the polymer when [...]
