Our understanding of how microscopic structure and changes in the shape of food affect food texture remains underdeveloped, so researchers from Denmark and Germany conducted a series of experiments ...

Teeth can tell us a lot about the evolution of prehistoric humans, and our latest study of one of our species' close relatives may finally resolve a long-standing mystery. The genus Paranthropus is ...

This process resulted in structure measuring just 6 microns wide by 10 microns long, likely making it the smallest house – or more accurately a model of a house – ever made. By contrast, a microscopic ...

The traditional trial-and-error method in material research cannot meet the growing demand of various high performance materials, developing new effective paradigm of ...

Researchers undertaking an evolutionary survey of the microscopic structure of wood from some of the world's most iconic trees and shrubs have discovered an entirely new type of wood. Researchers ...

Complex fluids, such as polymer melts and concentrated suspensions, are foundational materials for industrial products, including high-strength plastics and optical components. The final performance ...

Microscopic views of the manganese material show an ordered nanoscale structure separated by special disordered “antiphase boundaries.” The unique microscopic structure formed by the transformation ...

Analysis of the microscopic structure of an ancient shard of Roman glass has revealed how photonic crystals form, and might enable them to be grown. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

Engineers at MIT and the University of Tokyo have produced centimeter-scale structures, large enough for the eye to see, that are packed with hundreds of billions of hollow aligned fibers, or ...
