Using engineered microbes as microscopic factories has given the world steady sources of life-saving drugs, revolutionized the food industry, and allowed us to make sustainable versions of valuable ...
A research team from the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) has successfully used mechanical ...
Quantum defects are tiny imperfections in solid crystal lattices that can trap individual electrons and their "spin" (i.e., the internal angular momentum of particles). These defects are central to ...
Predicting how continuous microscopic strains alter local bond lengths and hopping energies has required computationally taxing physics simulations, frustrating attempts to efficiently scan the ...
(Nanowerk News) A unique method to screen large-scale libraries for industrially useful bacterial strains was recently developed by Tokyo Tech researchers. The simple approach combines biosensors and ...
Heterogeneous catalysis—in which catalysts and reactants are of different phases, e.g., solid and gas—is important to many industrial processes and often involves solid metal as the catalyst. Ammonia ...
