12-03-28 Helping bridge the gap between photonics（光电） and electronics, researchers from Purdue University have coaxed a thin film of titanium nitride（氮化物） into transporting plasmons, tiny electron excitations coupled to light that can direct and man...

12-03-09 An international team of physicists has developed a method for taking ultrafast sonograms（声波图） that can track the structural changes that take place within solid materials in trillionth-of-a-second intervals as they go through an important phys...

12-03-08 Many of the communication tools of today rely on the function of light or, more specifically, on applying information to a light wave. Up until now, studies on electronic and optical devices with materials that are the foundations of modern electron...

12-03-06 Xinwei Wang had a hunch that（总感到，总怀疑） spider webs were worth a much closer look. So he ordered eight spiders -- Nephila clavipes, golden silk orbweavers -- and put them to work eating crickets and spinning webs in the cages he set up in an...

11-11-23 Fewer than 7 percent of Beijing's golf courses use reclaimed water for irrigation, despite municipal guidelines that strongly suggest they should do so. 虽然北京市有明确的指导方针要求高尔夫球场利用再生水进行灌溉，但是按此要求做到的球场却不到7%。 在...

11-08-24 Researchers at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory's Pulsed Field Facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory have set a new world record for the strongest magnetic field produced by a nondestructive magnet. The scientists achieved a field of...

10-10-19 Theoretical work done at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory has provided a key to understanding an unexpected magnetism between two dissimilar（不同的） materials. The results, published in Nature Communications, have special s...

10-09-09 In what could be a step toward higher efficiency solar cells, an international team including University of Michigan professors has invalidated（使无效） the most commonly used model to explain the behavior of a unique class of materials called high...

10-08-10 Superconducting materials（超导材料） , which transmit power resistance-free, are found to perform optimally（最佳，最适宜） when high- and low-charge density varies on the nanoscale level, according to research performed at the Department of Energy...

10-07-29 Nanomaterials are poised for widespread use in the construction industry, where they can offer significant advantages for a variety of applications ranging from making more durable concrete to self-cleaning windows. But widespread use in building ma...
