This process resulted in structure measuring just 6 microns wide by 10 microns long, likely making it the smallest house – or more accurately a model of a house – ever made. By contrast, a microscopic ...

In terms of the length scale of structural features, material structure can be classified into macroscopic, mesoscopic, and microscopic structures. And the microscopic structure of materials can be ...

The traditional trial-and-error method in material research cannot meet the growing demand of various high performance materials, developing new effective paradigm of ...

An entirely new type of wood that does not fit into either category of hardwood or softwood has been discovered by researchers who were undertaking an evolutionary survey of the microscopic structure ...

The structure of semi-crystalline polymers largely depends on how strongly their molecular chains are entangled. Following numerous experiments, researchers developed a new model to predict the ...

THE following observations on the minute structure of metals, which have been hammered into thin leaves, are instructive. Notwithstanding the great opacity of metals, it is quite possible to procure, ...

Inside every human cell, six feet of DNA folds into a nucleus that is only a few micrometers wide, yet still manages to ...

GUANGZHOU, Nov. 16 (Xinhua) -- China's first high-energy direct-geometry inelastic neutron scattering time-of-flight spectrometer, an instrument for observing the structure and dynamic properties of ...

T.S. ELIOT’S MYSTERY cat, Macavity, besides being a criminal mastermind able to evade the combined ranks of British law enforcement, had a coat that was “dusty from neglect”. Criminality is one thing, ...
