Researchers at Curtin University have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of nanotechnology. They found that molecules known as ligands attach more densely to flatter, platelet-shaped semiconductor nanocrystals than to spherical ones. This counterintuitive result could lead to significant improvements in LED and solar cell technology, as well as applications in biomedicine. Forecast for…
Mathematicians have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of geometry, solving a decades-old problem by identifying new shapes with constant width. The breakthrough was inspired by a 1986 space shuttle disaster, where physicist Richard Feynman discovered that the failure of O-ring seals was due to cold temperatures. The new shapes, including the Reuleaux triangle…
Researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery about the world’s oldest tree, Pando, a quaking aspen in Utah. By analyzing DNA samples from the tree, they have determined its age to be between 16,000 and 80,000 years old. The study has also revealed clues about the tree’s evolutionary history and its ability to adapt and evolve…
