Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) are a type of programmable structure that can be used to control the propagation of electromagnetic waves, by changing the electric and magnetic properties ...

Researchers at Rice University used light-activated molecular machines to trigger intercellular calcium wave signals which they say demonstrates a new strategy for controlling cellular activity. The ...

The crystal structure of these atomically thin materials makes them extremely sensitive to mechanical strain – tiny stretches or compressions of the atomic lattice. In principle, this strain ...

NEW YORK, October 13, 2025 — Scientists at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) have discovered a groundbreaking way to control sound and vibrations using a ...

Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is a process of global planarization that leverages the synergetic effect of chemical reactions and mechanical abrasion to facilitate wafer polishing. CMP has ...

Researchers used a light-driven molecular motor to wind two molecular strands into an interlocked ring structure called a catenane, without forming chemical bonds. (Nanowerk News) Threads or ropes can ...

The US military is developing an aircraft that can fly without mechanical control surfaces such as ailerons, elevators and rudders, which most current planes use to manoeuvre. Experts say the ...
