Water pours into a cup at about the same rate regardless of whether the water bottle is made of glass or plastic. But at nanometer-size scales for water and potentially other fluids, whether the container is made of glass or plastic does make a signi

Here is a course to learn the properties and the potential of various wafer bonding processes regarding their applicability to the fabrication of MEMS devices :

The clock starts ticking seconds after a traumatic injury. Medics often refer to the first 60 minutes as the “golden hour’’—the window of time during which the chances of survival are highest if prompt treatment arrives. New research from Case Wester

Researchers have demonstrated a new carbon nanotube (CNT)-based logic device that consumes just 0.1 nanowatts (nW) in its static ON and OFF states, representing the lowest reported value by 3 orders of magnitude for CNT-based CMOS logic devices. The

Spinning CDs to Clean Sewage Water Scientists find a potential new use for old music CDs: coating disks in photocatalytic compounds and spinning them to clean water Audio CDs, all the rage in the ‘90s, seem increasingly obsolete in a world of MP3 fil

A brighter, better, longer-lasting dental implant may soon be on its way to your dentist’s office. This shows a forest of titanium dioxide nanotubes etched into metallic titanium. The surface holds promise for improving the longevity of dental implan
