In a first, Chinese scientists monitor heat flow at atomic level using electron beam For years, scientists have known that phonons (vibrations of atoms) carry heat through solids. However, the ability to directly observe and manipulate these atomic-level processes has been a formidable challenge. Recently, a groundbreaking development in China has opened new doors in […]
World’s smartest shell? New armor material reacts in real time to crashes and impacts
Nature has spent millions of years building better protection. Think of a turtle’s shell, the ultimate defense mechanism refined through evolution. Now, scientists and engineers have taken inspiration from nature to create the world’s smartest shell – a new armor material that reacts in real time to crashes and impacts. This groundbreaking material, developed by […]
Forged like superhero: Super metal withstands freezing -321°F to extreme 1,112°F
Forged like a superhero: Super metal withstands freezing -321°F to extreme 1,112°F Scientists have developed a new super metal that can maintain its strength and flexibility across a wide range of temperatures, from a bone-chilling -321°F to an extreme 1,112°F. This groundbreaking material, inspired by the durability of comic book superheroes, has the potential to […]
