Researchers at Westlake University have disclosed a two-dimensional (2D) mechanically interlocked polymer (MIP) that mimics ...

Next, the researchers tried to match a triangular graph to a square one by tracing all the possible paths in each shape and comparing the resulting collections of edge lengths and angles.

Certain cells have an unusual shape that is similar to an oak leaf or puzzle piece, and researchers have found that the form of these cells helps them withstand dramatic changes in volume. These cells ...

Among all the tested catalysts, nickel emerged as the most efficient. Under operating conditions, Ni atoms shifted into a square-pyramidal configuration, stabilizing the desirable half-filled d z ...

But a new shape has established itself as the perfect mix of angular and oval, trendy and classic. May we introduce: squoval nails—where square meets oval. Squoval nails are primed to be seen ...

The net of a 3D shape is what it looks like if it is opened out flat. There are many types of nets for the different 3D shapes. A net is made from polygons that can be folded and joined ...

Researchers Watch a Single Catalytic Grain Do Work in Real Time Apr. 8, 2025 — A new way to watch catalytic reactions happen at the molecular level in real time could lead to better fundamental ...

Apr. 15, 2025 — Researchers have demonstrated a way to use corn protein to improve the performance of lithium-sulfur batteries, a finding that holds promise for expanding the use of the high ...

XPS is used to determine the atoms present at a surface and their concentrations, chemistry, and lateral and depth distributions. This course emphasizes: • Introduction – terminology, surfaces, types ...
