Researchers developed a hybrid nanomaterial combining MCM-41, chitosan, and dansylglycine to enhance latent fingermark detection. These nanoparticles adhere well to fingerprint residues on various surfaces.

Improved lithium-sulfur batteries could provide power even after being folded or cut, addressing stability and safety issues.

Research shows that VOCs released by damaged plants, when oxidized into secondary organic aerosols (SOAs), still activate defenses in neighboring plants. This suggests that SOAs retain the ecological functions of VOCs and may signal distant threats.

In a new study, researchers have determined that soil pH is a driver of microbial community composition – but that the need to address toxicity released during nitrogen cycling ultimately shapes the final microbial community.

A new study offers a solution and brings hope for using chemical residues in fingerprints for personal profiling. This could be crucial in criminal cases where current methods fall short.

A study from the University of Miami found that over 2 million acres of floodplain have been developed in the U.S. over the past 20 years. Florida had the highest new floodplain housing, with about 400,000 new properties.

A study reveals that synthesis methods significantly affect the structural and functional properties of high entropy oxides. Researchers found variations in local structures and microstructures, impacting material performance.

Researchers developed new technique for mass-producing pure metal nanowires (NWs) using atomic diffusion and ion beam irradiation. This method significantly increases NW density, paving the way for improved production of high-performance electronics.

Aluminum oxide is one of the best insulators used in a wide range of applications and researchers have now solved the complex structure of its surface.

A study reveals that dams in coastal estuaries may exacerbate flooding. The researchers found that dam-induced changes in basin shape can amplify storm surges, affecting areas far inland.
