Graphene oxide boosts concrete strength with ultra‑low loadings
Researchers from UCLA, Arizona State University and Technical University of Munich (TUM) recently showed how carefully controlling the dispersion of graphene oxide (GO) in cementitious mixtures can deliver stronger, more durable, and potentially lower‑carbon...
Scientists discover a strange hidden state in “sandwich” molecules
Scientists have uncovered a strange hidden structure formed during the creation of metallocenes, a class of sandwich-like molecules used in everything from catalysis to medicine. The newly characterized intermediate features a rare “double ring-slip,” where both...
Laser-induced graphene on Kevlar enables multifunctional structural composites
Researchers from IMDEA Materials Institute, Polytechnic University of Madrid, University Rey Juan Carlos, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), National Institute for Aerospace Technology (INTA) and Universidad Francisco de Vitoria have developed a...
New quantum sensor could count individual photons and hunt dark matter
Researchers have built an ultra-sensitive sensor capable of detecting unimaginably small amounts of energy — below one zeptojoule. The breakthrough relies on fragile superconducting materials that react to even the slightest temperature change. This level of...
