A new self-erasing chip could help stop counterfeit electronics. It can store a secret message or authentication code for days before it disappears.

"The previous cooling materials have been rigid and tough, which makes them unforgiving for athletes, occupational workers, soldiers, and so much more."

Creating colloidal diamonds, a long-awaited photonic technique, could change the development and use of optical technologies over the next decade.

A new green supercapacitor is flexible, lightweight, and cost-effective. It could charge your devices way faster, too, researchers say.

A new technology lets researchers use metal to create nature-inspired surfaces with unique powers, including rose petals' water-repelling ability.

New 3D-printable synthetic polymers have morphing powers and can self-heal within seconds. They could be useful for more realistic prosthetics.

"Think of SMILES like a light bulb, but instead of being turned on with electricity, they are turned on with light..."

Observations let researchers "see" when and how three individual water molecules left a crystalline sponge as it dried out.

Titanium dioxide crystals that "blink" may benefit quantum computers or the creation of fuels from carbon dioxide, say researchers.

With a bit of voltage, researchers have shown they can turn droplets of liquid metal into streams the diameter of a human hair.
