A web platform developed at Emory University uses a chatbot to enable any chemist — including undergraduate chemistry majors — to configure and execute complex quantum mechanical simulations through chatting.
From seat cushions to mattresses to insulation, foam is everywhere — even if we don’t always see it. Now, researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas have fused chemistry with technology to create a 3D-printed foam that is more durable and more recyclable than the polymer foam found in many everyday products.
Researchers at Columbia Engineering have for the first time used DNA to help create 3D electronically operational devices with nanometer-size features.
University of Texas at Dallas developed a new theory to explain heat transfer on advanced surfaces, which they outline in an article published online March 13 in the physical science journal Newton.
The theory is critical to the researchers’ work to develop innovative surfaces for applications such as harvesting water from air without electricity.
