Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene exhibit extraordinary electrical properties for organic materials, and have a huge potential in electrical and electronic applications such as sensors, semiconductor devices, displays, conductors and energy conversion devices (e.g., fuel cells, harvesters and batteries). This report brings all of this together, covering the latest work from 78 organizations around the World to details of the latest progress ap Continue reading »

Reality is defined as the totality of real things in the world or something that exists or happens. But what is real to you may not seem so to me, so is real a fact that we cannot dispute, or is it merely an individual’s perception?

Let’s take a look at your dining room table. It looks very solid, and it can support an entire feast and then some. If liquid is spilled on it and is left to evaporate, the liquid will not soak through Continue reading »

There is always something new happening in the world of science. In fact, there are so many new scientific discoveries and inventions, that it’s virtually impossible to stay abreast of all the new information. Here are a few really cool new inventions that are under development.

Using flying beetles for search and rescue

New research, funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), has demonstrated how Continue reading »

You breathe air made up of atoms, eat foods composed of atoms and drink water made up of atoms—with a body that itself consists of atoms. The objects you see around you are actually nothing more than photons striking the electrons belonging to the atoms in your eyes.

And what about the things you touch and feel? Those too—hard and soft, rough and smooth, cold or hot—consist of the atoms in your skin interacting on the atoms Continue reading »
