For decades, scientists have hunted for materials that defy conventional ideas of magnetism. Most magnetic materials, like the ones found in fridge magnets, behave in predictable ways. Their atomic ...

Researchers have developed a highly sensitive photonic crystal biosensor with an eye-shaped design, which enables the noninvasive early detection of cancerous cells.

The Helfrich theory of membrane bending, supported by molecular dynamics simulations, is a promising approach for evaluating ...

Finding new materials with useful properties is a primary goal for materials scientists, and it's central to improving ...

Scientists have twisted DNA into programmable nanostructures that form themselves — and could reshape future materials for light, sound, and electronics.

Scientists in Germany have made a major breakthrough that could change the future of electronics. A research team at Forschungszentrum Jülich has successfully created the world’s first two-dimensional ...
