Microscopic black holes have long hovered at the edge of theory, forming only in exquisitely balanced states. Now physicists ...

Researchers at Rice University have developed a new nanoscale chip fabrication technique that uses stressed crystals to directly create ultra fine patterns on ...

A new technique is helping scientists create nanoscale patterns on chip materials at room ...

For scientists and engineers, the best way to understand a new or unknown material--whether it's an alloy, a pharmaceutical or a meteorite--is to delve into its atoms. Techniques such as X-ray ...

Researchers have demonstrated a technique for mapping deformation in metals that can recover destroyed serial numbers on metal objects such as firearms, a common challenge in forensics. Researchers at ...

(Nanowerk News) When Lisa Tran set out to investigate patterns in liquid crystals, she didn't know what to expect. When she first looked through the microscope, she saw dancing iridescent spheres with ...
