IBM Research's Thomas J. Watson Research Center and Northwestern University have developed a technique to grow hexagonal- and cubic-phase gallium nitride (h-/c-GaN) on standard (100) silicon (Si) [Can Bayram et al, Adv. Funct. Mater., ...
Fangliang Gao and Guoqiang Li of South China University of Technology have developed a technique to grow high-quality indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) on gallium arsenide substrates using an ultrathin amorphous buffer [Appl. Phys. Lett., ...
Ubiquitous but frustrating, lithium-ion batteries fade because the materials lose their structure in response to charging and discharging. This structural change is closely related to the formation of electron-rich regions within the ...

A team of French investigators has discovered viruses containing genes for antibiotic resistance in a fossilized fecal sample from 14th century Belgium, long before antibiotics were used in medicine. They publish their findings ahead of ...
Electron microscopy and spectroscopy are great tools for peering into matter on the molecular scale. But they’re not terribly effective if that matter happens to be biological. Researchers at the University of Illinois in Chicago ...
