A research team has developed a bifunctional polymer electrolyte with enhanced mechanical strength and ionic conductivity. The new technology can be applied to producing strong artificial muscles with fast switching speeds.
Why are Neptune-sized planets rare among exoplanets discovered to date? A ‘warm Neptune’ recently found by astronomers around a bright blue A-type star provides a clue. Astronomers have proposed that gas giants like Neptune would be stripped of their g…
Engineers have developed an experimental strategy to control and observe the chemical reaction of a single nanocatalyst using an optical microscope — Expected to contribute to catalyst design based on accurate understanding of the photocatalytic react…
Researchers developed a piezoelectric polymer/ceramic composite fiber with a cross-sectional form that is uniformly controlled to allow the use of energy harvesting technologies that can recycle energy wasted or consumed in everyday life.
An extensive meta-analysis suggests that vitamin D supplementation may alleviate depressive symptoms in adults with depression. Conducted by an international team of researchers, the meta-analysis includes dozens of studies from around the world.
Chemists have succeeded in synthesizing the low-valent cationic aluminum complex by a metathesis reaction.
Theoretical work reveals an unexpected link between two major principles in physics that may inform future experimentation and an understanding of how to harness quantum information.
