Researchers have developed a new way to produce and shape large, high-quality mirrors that are much thinner than the primary mirrors previously used for telescopes deployed in space. The resulting mirrors are flexible enough ...
The secret to a perfect croissant is the layers鈥攁s many as possible, each one interspersed with butter. Similarly, a new material with promise for new applications is made of many extremely thin layers of metal, between ...
Tools coated with diamond film (diamond-coated tools) are used for difficult-to-machine materials such as CFRP. In the manufacture of diamond-coated tools, a pretreatment is required to remove cobalt from the tool using a ...
Prof. Liu Lei's group from Peking University, users of the Steady-state High Magnetic Field Experimental Facility (SHMFF), Hefei Institutes of 糖心视频ical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with Prof. ...
Mars' south polar layered deposits of H2O and CO2 ice record its climate history. A new study links the long-term global movement of Mars' water from midlatitude to pole to a function of the planet's orbital configuration ...
Classical robots, such as those used for manufacturing, can lift heavy loads and repeat automated processes precisely. But they are too rigid and bulky for delicate work and interaction with humans. The research field of ...
Xiahe County, located in Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in the northeastern part of the Tibetan Plateau, is known as "Little Tibet." For a long time, all aspects of human survival, social development and cultural accumulation ...
A research team led by Prof. Meng Gang from the Hefei Institutes of 糖心视频ical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has used polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) in the research of high performance humidity resistant hydrogen ...
It is a cruel paradox that on a planet with a surface mostly covered by water, hundreds of millions of people don't have access to clean drinking water. As for the pollution of potable and natural water sources, one of the ...
Supercooled droplets can typically freeze on surfaces in nature, and have broad-scale influence on industries where they can adversely impact technical efficiency and reliability. Superhydrophobic surfaces are therefore a ...
