In our daily lives we tend to think of electrical conductivity as largely static: Copper is a good choice for conduction; clay is not. But heat up that copper wire, and electron conduction slows. Give a flake of that ceramic a good squeeze, ...
From bacteria to plants to humans,all organisms have mechanisms that they use to repair DNA damaged by ultraviolet(UV)light.This fundamental maintenance function is critical to our health because damaged DNA can lead to diseases such as ...
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory have demonstrated broadband terahertz (THz) wave generation using metamaterials. The discovery may help develop noninvasive imaging and sensing, and make possible THz-speed ...
