2+ hour, 10+ min ago   (178+ words) DongA Science New KAIST microneedle device enables remote IoT control and pain relief tests ■ KAIST announced on the 13th that a joint research team led by Professor Jeong Jae-woong of the School of Electrical Engineering and Senior Researcher Lee Sang-hoon of…...

1+ hour, 42+ min ago   (271+ words) This work presents a conditional deep convolutional generative adversarial network (CDCGAN) for the inverse design of high-absorptance periodic metasurfaces (MSs) with different geometries. The conditioning mechanism encodes geometric and spectral parameters. A key innovation is the inclusion of unit cells…...

1+ hour, 3+ min ago   (55+ words) Dental implants have become one of the most predictable long-term solutions for tooth replacement, yet their success hinges on a deceptively simple biological event: the direct, functional connection between the implant surface and the surrounding jawbone, known as osseointegration. Titanium,…...

1+ hour, 3+ min ago   (80+ words) A team of researchers at Quaid-i-Azam University in Islamabad has shown that an ordinary kitchen staple, corn starch, can be transformed into a surprisingly capable solid electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries when it is combined with the right additives. In work…...

2+ hour, 37+ min ago   (599+ words) Chemical bonds are usually treated as the fixed scaffolding of a material, the framework that determines how atoms sit relative to one another and how electrons move through the resulting structure. Yet in certain classes of matter, the bonds between…...

3+ hour, 50+ min ago   (617+ words) A team of materials scientists has shown that ordinary green tea can do far more than steep a soothing drink: its polyphenol-rich extract can grow phase-pure nickel oxide nanoparticles that, when embedded in a biodegradable chitosan matrix, transform a humble…...

4+ hour, 7+ min ago   (95+ words) Every seed is a masterpiece of biological engineering, a compact package in which molecular order and cellular design are woven together to protect and nourish a future plant. For scientists trying to understand how crops such as the yellow pea…...

4+ hour, 7+ min ago   (79+ words) A sweeping review published in Discover Electrochemistry has consolidated more than a decade of progress on MXenes, a family of two-dimensional transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides that many researchers now regard as the most versatile nanoarchitecture in modern energy…...

9+ hour, 5+ min ago   (417+ words) Physicists have uncovered an in-plane Hall response that overturns a century-old assumption about how this famous electrical effect works. The discovery could eventually make multidirectional magnetic sensing possible with one tiny device....

4+ hour, 57+ min ago   (614+ words) Chemists have long relied on a single trick to make the inert atoms of the p-block of the periodic table behave like reactive metals: bend them out of shape....
