A method to make plastic conductive and more transparent could improve large touchscreens, LED light panels, and window-mounted infrared solar cells.

A new formula for ultrafast insulin could work in much less time than the current stuff, according to research with pigs.

A new study helps to reconcile a Nobel Prize-winning theory with experiments on how solids melt.

Scientists think quantum coherence may play a role in photosynthesis. A new study shows it can offer a roadmap to better solar cells.

Using 3D fabrication, researchers develop novel nuclear materials that optimize both accident tolerance and performance.

Light-responsive biomaterials, such as the 2D nanosheets, "have a strong potential for developing the next generation of noninvasive, precise, and controllable medical devices."

A new device the size of a grain of rice could electrically stimulate the brain. It could potentially help treat depression, Parkinson's, and more.

"Nobody had engineered a way to control the emission of light from an LED into a single direction."

A new kind of concrete could let roads and bridges "heal" after cracking. That could cut down the costs and frequency of road repairs.

A new polymer composite may offer a lighter, non-toxic radiation shielding to replace lead, researchers report.
