The discovery of oxygen "superstructures" in cuprate materials by two independent teams of physicists could help shed new light on the origins of high-temperature superconductivity, which has been one ...

Polymer scientists recently announced that they have solved a longstanding mystery surrounding a nanoscale structure, formed by collections of molecules, called a double-gyroid. This shape is one of ...

In research that may help bridge the divide between the nano and the macro, chemists have used pyramid-shaped nanoparticles to create what might be the most complex macroscale superstructure ever ...

Is it possible to understand the universe without understanding the largest structures that reside in it? In principle, not likely. In practical terms? Definitely not. Extremely large objects can ...

Astronomers have revealed the largest known structure in the universe, which is made up of not only clusters of galaxies but also clusters of these clusters that form a gravitationally interacting ...

(Nanowerk News) The assembly of primary particles into uniform superstructures represent a compelling strategy to create new functions by utilizing interparticle electromagnetic coupling or other ...

A massive “superstructure” of igneous rock lurking below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, east of the Solomon Islands, has long puzzled scientists. The structure, dubbed the Melanesian Border Plateau ...

'Building Giants' will show how superstructures are built, while 'Mega Machines' takes a close look at the world's most extreme machines. By Kimberly Nordyke Managing Editor, Digital Science Channel ...
