From our own David Watksy's childhood home to more than 250,000 American homes affected each year, frozen pipes can strike any home experiencing unexpected winter weather. When frozen pipes and ...

it could inform the engineering of materials for a wide range of purposes, ranging from soft robots to consumer products. "Moving forward, we plan to further investigate how surface roughness ...

Their latest research, published in the journal Nature Materials, sheds light on how catalysts can stay in unanticipated forms during the process of nitrate ...

These materials are made up of discrete particles, free to move and slide relative to one another.” PAMs defy this binary classification. “With PAMs, the individual particles are linked as they are in ...

Nano-architected materials are made of tiny building blocks or repeating units measuring a few hundred nanometres in size. Researchers have developed high-performance nano-architected materials ...

Nature Research Intelligence Topics enable transformational understanding and discovery in research by categorising any document into meaningful, accessible topics. Read this blog to understand ...

Coloradans bundling up ahead of this weekend’s arctic blast should also plan on keeping their homes cozy, particularly for water pipes that can freeze and burst during subzero cold snaps.

However, it is difficult to recognize object roughness/textures through tactile feedback due to the surface features cannot be acquired with equipped sensors. The purpose of this study is to ...

In March 2024, the Council adopted the European critical raw materials act, as demand for rare earths is expected to increase exponentially in the coming years. Critical raw materials (CRMs) are raw ...
