Prof. Dan Shechtman of the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology made the discovery that would later earn him the 2011 ...

A new study has unveiled new insights into the effects of massive stars on nearby molecular gas and star formation in the W4 ...

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is here and it’s pretty. With a hefty price tag, it deserves nothing less than the ultimate protection. Enter the Benks ArmorPro series cases, crafted from the legendary ...

Forty years after scientists discovered methods for creating mechanical molecular bonds, experts have created a mechanically interlocked 2D material that’s much stronger than Kevlar. With 100 trillion ...

With 100 trillion mechanical bonds per square centimeter, this molecular “chainmail” makes Kevlar-like materials ... them in a specific crystalline structure. After reacting these crystals ...

Kevlar derives its strength from molecular bonds in a 2D plane. But generally, the strongest materials tend to have a more complex 3D structure. For example, chainmail as a whole is much stronger than ...
