Scientists measure weak forces with sensitivity 50 times higher than what has been achieved to date.
Switchable Diffraction from Liquid Crystal–Carbon Nanotube Hybrids
Voltage-dependent diffraction switching makes a hybrid liquid crystal–carbon nanotube device a good candidate for high-resolution displays.
Carbon monoxide discovery solves catalytic problem
Catalysts can stop working when atoms on the surface start moving – new work means this dance of the atoms could now be observed and explained.
Recycling Carbon Fibers from Composites
New research on recycling carbon from composites ensures that the fibers retain their properties to the greatest extent possible.
