During winter months, frost can unleash icy havoc on cars, planes, heat pumps, and much more. But thermal defrosting with ...

A more efficient way to defrost cars - using electricity to "zap" ice without heat or chemicals - is being developed. Frost ...

Bright idea: Harry Atwater is working on a plasmonic solar cell A new way of creating a voltage by shining light on a solid has been developed by researchers in the US and Europe. Unlike most ...

A research team led by Prof. Li Chao from East China Normal University has uncovered the origin of voltage decay in P2-type ...

A team of researchers in France has found that applying a voltage across a 100-nm-thick cylindrical soap film causes the fluid inside it to flow upwards. If the voltage is increased, the film thickens ...
