Scientists from the Institute for Open and Transdisciplinary Research Initiatives at Osaka University discovered a new feature of solar cells made from antimony sulfiodide:sulfide composite, which th… [+3678 chars]
A professor at RUDN has proposed a method for fabricating porous silicon nanostructures that are confined to a certain area. As a result, it will be easier to construct silicon substrates with neuron… [+2779 chars]
In a university swimming pool, scientists and their underwater cameras watch carefully as a coiled shell is released from a pair of metal tongs. The shell begins to move under its own power, giving t… [+7595 chars]

A new study has illustrated that the imbalance of energy on Earth is considered the most crucial metric to gauge the size and impacts of climate change. Image Credit: IOP Publishing. The study was … [+2630 chars]
According to co-authors Robert Hazen and Shaunna Morrison, once mineral genesis is factored in, the number of mineral kinds — a newly-coined term — totals more than 10,500, a number about 75% greater… [+3777 chars]
A new telescope array is being built at the Siding Spring Observatory in NSW, with the goal of seeking out gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are massive energy-carrying waves that move throug… [+2570 chars]
According to a new study, the unusual behaviour of sulphur in Venus' atmosphere cannot be explained by an 'aerial' form of extra-terrestrial life. Researchers from the University of Cambridge used a… [+4428 chars]
Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) is an advanced nanofabrication technique capable of creating patterns and structures smaller than 10 nm with low cost, high throughput, and high precision. Image Credi… [+7780 chars]
An international collaboration led by Kobe University researchers has successfully developed a nanosheet-laminated photocatalytic membrane that demonstrates both excellent water permeance and photoca… [+8592 chars]
By firing lasers finer than a human hair at tiny grains of a mineral extracted from beach sand, Curtin researchers have found evidence of an almost four billion-year-old piece of the Earth's crust th… [+2867 chars]
High altitude clouds have been forming in recent days at the highest rates seen since 2007. Rocket exhaust may be the cause, but climate change is also known to make the clouds more visible. Noct… [+3548 chars]
