• Intelligent material improves aerodynamics in cars and aircraft
  

  In order to save energy, aerodynamics is important for cars and aircraft. However, technologies controlling saving of energy are only designed for one speed range. Researchers at Technische Universität Kaiserslautern have developed a more flexible method: Thanks to a so-called shape memory wire, the more

• Interdisciplinary team discovers double helix structure in synthetic macromolecule

  Researchers in the College of Science and College of Engineering have discovered that a high-strength called "PBDT" has a rare double helix structure, opening possibilities for use in a variety of applications. This discovery, recently published in Nature Communications, comes as an extension of the more

• Laser-induced graphene gets tough, with help
  

  Laser-induced graphene (LIG), a flaky foam of the atom-thick carbon, has many interesting properties on its own but gains new powers as part of a composite. The labs of Rice University chemist James Tour and Christopher Arnusch, a professor at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel, introduced more

• Precursor-mediated synthesis of Cu2−xSe nanoparticles and their composites with TiO2 for improved photocatalysis

  The direct synthesis of copper selenide nanoparticles from the reaction of ditertiarybutyl selenide tBu2Se with copper(ii) trifluoroacetate Cu(TFA)2 under mild conditions is reported. The isolation of a molecular species during the course of this reaction, established as [Cu2(TFA)2(tBu2Se)3], by spe more
