Is there a way to stick hard and soft materials together without any tape, glue or epoxy? A new study published in ACS Central Science shows that applying a small voltage to certain objects forms ...

It was found that the hard material must be capable of conducting ions, and the soft material has to contain salt ions. The scientists believe that a chemical bond forms when the two materials ...

A nationwide collaboration led by researchers at Duke University's Center for Autonomous Materials Design is working to synthesize inexpensive materials hard enough to literally stir two pieces of ...

Chemists from The University of Manchester and The Australian National University (ANU) have engineered a new type of molecule that can store information at temperatures as cold as the dark side of ...

Bike locks don’t work well: More than two million bikes are stolen each year in North America alone. Even when a lock might slow down a thief, it’s fairly easy to finish the job in a crowded city, ...

Scientists have developed a glass-like material that is around as hard as diamond and conducts electricity. In a pre-print research article, scientists, mostly from China but also from the U.S., ...

If you own a truck, a bed cover can make your life easier and your cargo more secure. Hard covers cost more than soft ones, ...

JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON - For many engineering and construction professionals, getting dirty at work is just part of the job. Rock, gravel, sand, concrete and other materials are all important ...

Is there a way to stick hard and soft materials together without any tape, glue or epoxy? A new study shows that applying a small voltage to certain objects forms chemical bonds that securely link the ...
