“Looking only at their subatomic particles, most materials can be placed into one of two categories. Metals — like copper and iron — have free-flowing electrons that allow them to conduct electricity, while insulators — like glass and rubbe r — keep their electrons …
“The key to its success? ‘Nanopatch antennas’ made with liquid metal that trap light to identify biological and chemical molecules The proliferation of point-of-care testing, from at-home blood glucose meters to COVID-19 rapid tests, is accelerating and improving medical …
“A study explains the physics behind reflective microscale concave interfaces — structures that reflect light in fascinating ways. A new study explains the science behind microscale concave interfaces (MCI) — structures that reflect light to produce beautiful and potentially useful optical phenomena …
“University at Buffalo researchers identify machines by their unique ‘hot end,’ could aid intellectual property, security 3D printing is transforming everything from fashion and health care to transportation and toys. But this rapidly evolving technology, also known as additive manufacturing …
“Graphene excels at removing contaminants from water, but it’s not yet a commercially viable use of the wonder material. That could be changing. In a recent study, University at Buffalo engineers report a new process of 3D printing graphene …
“It looks like science fiction: A machine dips into a shallow vat of translucent yellow goo and pulls out what becomes a life-sized hand. But the seven-second video, which is sped-up from 19 minutes, is real. The hand, which would …
“Researchers induce artificial ‘magnetic texture’ in graphene, a quantum science advancement that could help lead to more powerful semiconductors, computers Graphene is incredibly strong, lightweight, conductive … the list of its superlative properties goes on. It is not, however, magnetic — a …
“Passive cooling, like the shade a tree provides, has been around forever. Recently, researchers have been exploring how to turbo charge a passive cooling technique — known as radiative or sky cooling — with sun-blocking nanomaterials that emit heat away from building …
“Study shows improvements to chemical sensing chip that aims to quickly and accurately identify drugs and other trace chemicals University at Buffalo researchers are reporting an advancement of a chemical sensing chip that could lead to handheld devices that detect …
“University at Buffalo researchers are reporting a new, two-dimensional transistor made of graphene and the compound molybdenum disulfide that could help usher in a new era of computing. As described in a paper accepted at the 2020 IEEE International Electron …
