I know everything I am looking for is here, watch movies, watch series, education, games, exams, news, current events and many more.
Cashmere sweaters are everywhere these days, often at unbelievably low prices. The appeal is obvious: if you’ve ever worn cashmere, you know it’s soft, light, and warm — an impressive fiber that’s hard to give up. Unfortunately, those bargain prices usually come with a catch. Cashmere comes from the fine undercoat of a handful of…
It sounds like the stuff of science fiction, but it actually comes from a lab in Maryland. In 2018, Liangbing Hu, a materials scientist at the University of Maryland, had devised a way to turn ordinary wood into a material stronger than steel. It seemed like yet another headline grabbing discovery that wouldn’t make it…
“#Rapid 3-D printing with visible light” This complex object was 3D printed in about 2.5 hours using visible light. Credit: Adapted from ACS Central Science 2020, DOI: 10.1021/acscentsci.0c00929 3-D printing has driven innovations in fields ranging from art to aerospace to medicine. However, the high-energy ultraviolet (UV) light used in most 3-D printers to cure…
“#Researchers create better material for wearable biosensors” Human skin structure. Credit: Wikipedia Biosensors that are wearable on human skin or safely used inside the body are increasingly prevalent for both medical applications and everyday health monitoring. Finding the right materials to bind the sensors together and adhere them to surfaces is also an important part…
“#New study helps characterise the fusion of metals” A microscopic-sized sample of Niobium between two diamonds. Credit: Asociación RUVID In recent years, a great deal of effort has been devoted to the study of the melting curve of elements at high pressure. This information is relevant, for example, for applications such as nuclear fission reactors…

“#Tandem catalyst to enhance carbon dioxide electroreduction to methane” CO2 is first electrochemically reduced into CO and then CO diffuses to Zn-N-C for further conversion into CH4 over CoPc@Zn-N-C tandem catalyst. Credit: LIN Long and LIU Tianfu Carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) uses renewable electricity to convert carbon dioxide and water into fuels and chemicals,…
“#Researchers reveal guest-reaction-driven cage to conjoined twin-cage, mitosis-like host transformation” Schematic illustration of guest-reaction induced mitosis-like host transformation from Pd4L2 cage to a conjoined Pd6L3 twin cage. Credit: Prof. SUN’s group Guided by the induced-fit mechanism, guest-templated synthesis offers an important route toward otherwise inaccessible complicated host-guest complexes. In this case, guest molecules with specific…
“#Physicists create a model to predict the properties of any molecule” Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain A group of physicists led by Rashid Valiev, associate professor at TSU’s Faculty of Physics, has created a model for calculating the photophysical characteristics of molecules—one that is applicable for molecules of any nature, including rare-earth lanthanides. Due to the…
“#The future of biofuels in the dark” Lab-grown algae. Credit: Elizabeth Hann/UCR Algae could compete with petroleum as the fuel of the future if only the process of growing it was more efficient. Thanks to a fellowship from the Link Foundation, it soon could be. Elizabeth Hann, a doctoral student in plant biology at UC…
