A novel material with world record breaking surface area and water adsorption abilities has been synthesized by researchers from Uppsala University, Sweden. The results are published today in PLOS ONE.
The magnesium carbonate material that has been given the name Upsalite is foreseen to reduce...
In a new study, published in Science May 31, 2013, Columbia Engineering researchers demonstrate that graphene, even if stitched together from many small crystalline grains, is almost as strong as graphene in its perfect crystalline form.
This work resolves a contradiction between theoretical...
Building a ranger prerunner and wondering what alternatives are out there that would be nicer than plain stock carpet. Thought about spray on rubber being water proof and grippy, bed liner, boat carpet( the water proof stuff) what else would look nice and be durable? Looking to avoid dirtyness...
Melbourne scientists have discovered how female steroid hormones can make dramatic changes to the genetic material in breast cells, changes that could potentially lead to breast cancer. Researchers from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research in Melbourne, Australia, have...
I recently used the warranty on my bluetooth mic and I was wondering how exactly would I need to return it and what sort of packaging would I need and how much? This is my first time returning any product back.
Although the federal government's 1996 reform of welfare brought some improvements for the nation's poor, it also may have made extremely poor Americans worse off, new research shows. The reforms radically changed cash assistance - what most Americans think of as 'welfare' - by imposing...
It looks like a wisp of smoke or even the work of a very confused spider, but this is actually a close up of the lightest material that has ever been created. More »

Scientists are reporting development and successful initial testing of the first practical "smart" material that may supply the missing link in efforts to use in medicine a form of light that can penetrate four inches into the human body. Their report on the new polymer or plastic-like material...
The Material Girl reportedly has an immaterial brother, or at least one with no roof over his head. According to the Michigan Messenger, Madonna's older brother Anthony Ciccone has been living...
I have makeup stains (foundation) on my suede (i think it is suede!!) tub chairs that are dark brown- is there a way to get rid of it? I've heard dishwashing liquid or vinegar... i don't know! It seems impossible I think I have ruined it!
Biomedical engineers at Johns Hopkins have developed a new liquid material that in early experiments in rats and humans shows promise in restoring damaged soft tissue relatively safely and durably. The material, a composite of biological and synthetic molecules, is injected under the skin, then...
Researchers at Rice University and Texas A&M have discovered a way to pattern active proteins into bio-friendly fibers. The "eureka" moment came about because somebody forgot to clean up the lab one night. The new work from the Rice lab of biochemist Kathleen Matthews, in collaboration with...
