Weld of glass and metal? Now it's possible
Thanks to new technologies it is possible to do what previously seemed impossible. For example, early humans could not use welding to join two different materials such as metal and glass. The problem was due to different melting t...
Spider silk is suggested to be used as a muscle robots
Spider silk, already known as one of the most durable materials with their weight, has another unusual property which can lead to the emergence of new types of artificial muscles or robotic actuators, the researchers found. Elasti...
Russian scientists close to creating artificial bones
bone Structure and the work of forming their genes has long been studied in many different scientists, such as biologists, physicists, and even nanotechnology. After reviewing all this, they hope to create the world's first artifi...
Lightweight and resistant material will protect the missiles and vehicles from high temperatures
For decades, for the protection of industrial and scientific instrumentation from the high temperatures used ceramic aerogels. They can easily withstand extreme heat and still maintain lightness and strength, however, each thermal...
This coating from plants of clay able to save things from the fire
Many home furnishings like cabinets and sofas covered with fire resistant material. Unfortunately, some of them emit toxic fumes, so researchers are constantly in search of environmentally friendly replacement that does not harm t...
Found a simple way to turn plastic waste into fuel
The global and one of the worst problems facing right now is the abundance of plastic waste. According to the calculations of ecologists, landfills and oceans is currently about 5 billion tons of plastic, releasing toxic chemicals...
T-shirt from this fabric will save you in any heat
Some clothing manufacturers equip their jackets sensors tracking health status and other electronics. Such functions are certainly interesting, but most consumers expect from clothing is very simple thing — it is important that it...
Created the material that follows the main feature of human muscles
What happens to the iron robot, if he goes to the gym? The stronger he'll become, because its metal parts will wear quickly and after a few visits, the design will simply fall apart. People in this area are much more fortunate — t...
Scientists have developed artificial skin with "superhuman" capabilities
a Group of American and canadian engineers, chemists and biologists from Western Connecticut state University and the University of Toronto have developed a new kind of sensor that gives an artificial skin can feel pressure, vibra...
The strength of titanium, density of water: engineers have created a "metal wood"
high-performance Golf clubs and aircraft wings are made of titanium, which is stronger than steel and twice as light. These properties depend on the method of stacking the metal atoms, but occasional defects in the production proc...
Scientists have achieved superconductivity at record high temperatures
from school lessons of physics we know that an electric current flowing through a conductor meets with resistance. Because of this, a lot of energy is expended for nothing, but in 1911, scientists have noticed a strange feature of...
Created a material that can change the solid state on a flexible
In recent years scientists are more and more developments in the area of creating so-called metamaterials. In essence, metamaterials — is the materials unique properties are due primarily not to the substances of which they ...
Electronics to a new level displays a two-dimensional material. And that's not graphene
Since the discovery of graphene (a material with two-dimensional structure, which is based on carbon) in 2004, scientists speculated about the presence of other materials with similar properties. Theorists had predicted that boron...
Created a composite material that can camouflages in extreme temperatures
As the publication of Scientific Reports, a team of scientists from Nottinghamshire University (UK) is currently developing a unique material that can cool itself without any auxiliary elements. As acknowledged by the authors, the...
Blue phosphorus is a new two-dimensional material capable oust graphene
Invented in the early 21st century, graphene has already found its application in many fields of science and technology. And even gave the scientists who studied him the Nobel prize. However, two-dimensional structure like that of...
Biomaterial based on hybrid protein will effectively help to heal the wounds
the Regenerative capacity of our body are quite large and many injuries, healing occurs with virtually no damage, as new fabrics or indistinguishable from the old, or fairly well compensated for their function. However, the abilit...
Almost all graphene available on the commercial market, was a fake
Despite all the hype , all of its properties and promises of scientists, you may be surprised by the fact that this material is still not used everywhere. As it turned out, this is not surprising. An international group of scienti...
Created material, 1 gram of which "fit the field"
Imagine a football field. In the background you'll seem short. Now, try to imagine that this enormous size of a flat football field to fit on a smaller area. What is the minimum size will be able to achieve? You will be surprised...
The compound of lanthanum and hydrogen broke the record of superconductivity
Superconductors gaining momentum, and the champion may be overthrown at any moment. Appeared immediately two studies on the topic of superconductivity — the transmission of electricity without resistance at temperatures that are h...
Airbus will build the planes out of the material on the basis of synthetic web
Despite the very long air travel, material for the manufacture of aircraft has not changed much. And they, meanwhile, was getting heavier and started to demand more fuel. And Airbus has decided to correct this deficiency one of th...
