Researchers have developed ways to control defects in 2D materials—such as graphene. The work may lead to improved membranes for water desalination, energy storage, sensing,
The discovery of two massive companions around one star in a close binary system—one so-called giant planet and one brown dwarf, or “failed star”—suggests that
Scientists are smashing metallic micro-cubes to make them ultra-strong and tough by rearranging their nanostructures upon impact. The Rice University team reports in Science that
About 150 million years ago, snakes roamed about on well-developed legs. Now researchers say a trio of mutations in a genetic switch are why those
Scientists have proposed a space observatory that would have a primary mirror with a diameter of 100 meters (328 feet)—40 times larger than Hubble’s. They
More than a decade ago, Ralph Hollis invented the ballbot, an elegantly simple robot whose tall, thin body glides atop a sphere slightly smaller than
