| Watching an exoplanet in motion around a distant star Posted: 16 Sep 2015 08:24 AM PDT A team of astronomers has given us our best view yet of an exoplanet moving in its orbit around a distant star. |
| Understanding nature's most striking colors Posted: 15 Sep 2015 10:54 AM PDT Researchers show how natural materials like plant cellulose can self-assemble into surfaces with stunning optical properties -- including shiny iridescence and colors that change depending on the humidity. |
| 'Instruction manual' for futuristic metallic glass Posted: 15 Sep 2015 07:50 AM PDT Researchers have created an 'instruction manual' for developing metallic glass -- described as the most significant materials science innovation since plastic. Among the toughest materials in existence, these alloys become as malleable as chewing gum when heated, and can be molded like plastics or blown like glass. This knowledge could enable more affordable bulk manufacture of these alloys. |
