A research team led by Associate Professor Li Mujun, Professor Zhang Shiwu, and Professor Hu Bing from the University of ...

To solve this problem, the researchers introduced a porous structure into the magnetic silicone elastomer. The porous ...

For decades semiconductors have formed the core of microelectronic circuits. Although nanofluidics may not put silicon out of business, it will likely open a host of new applications. The finding ...

Not only are natural hairs clingier than non-stick, non-porous silicone, but the sheer number of tiny boar bristles on each ...

Since the 1960s, technological advances have enabled silicon transistors to keep shrinking, causing computational capability to grow exponentially. However, transistors cannot shrink much further; ...

The magnetic gripper's remote-operability is a significant benefit, especially when it comes to integrating with mobile platforms. Its integration with mobile robots, for example, enables the gentle ...

Researchers have come up with a way to turn silicon into a direct bandgap semiconductor, opening the door to the manufacture of ultrathin silicon solar cells. By creating a new way for light and ...

Guttilla says that piercer informed her that silicone earring backs are super porous and tend to absorb lots of dirt, oil, sweat, and makeup, which then creates a "glue-like" substance that almost ...
