High-energy cosmic radiation damages cells and DNA, causing cancer, and secondary neutrons—generated especially from the ...

Developing high-density neutron shielding material using surfactant-stabilized boron nitride nanotubes (BNNT).

Holographic polymer films have emerged as a versatile platform where interference patterns are stored via photopolymerisation in photosensitive matrices. When these films are integrated with liquid ...

A phosphorescent liquid-crystal elastomer combines shape change with persistent afterglow, enabling soft materials that visibly track motion, encode hidden patterns and respond to heat or targeted ...

Scaling up perovskites for potential widespread use in solar cells has been a challenge due to arising defects. Yi Yang, postdoctoral fellow; Ted Sargent, Lynn Hopton Davis and Greg Davis Professor of ...

Preliminary studies of the highly polar organic molecule DIO revealed a mysterious liquid crystal phase between the nematic and ferroelectric nematic phases. X-ray diffraction studies showed that this ...

The project was led by the Institute of Metal Research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The team said the one-second ...
