The outlet called the ruling a “dark day for press freedom.” In a unanimous 9-0 ruling on Friday, the court ordered that reporter Ben Makuch must hand over his materials […]
THEY make an intriguing posse: about 160 “scouts” in jeans and muddy boots, jumping out of cars with ropes in hand, plunging deep into corn (maize) and soyabean fields across the American Midwest. They are not just farmers. They include commodity traders and hedge-fund managers. Their quest: to predict this year’s harvest by using ropes […]

Graphene is a sheet of carbon atoms bonded to each other, just one atom thick; graphite is just an agglomeration of […]
Engineers have 3D printed a shape-shifting smart gel that could revolutionize biomedical devices and pave the way for a new era of soft robotics. Researchers at Rutgers University invented their 4D printing approach by combining a 3D object with temperature-responsive hydrogel. As temperatures change, so too does the shape of the object. For the experiment, […]
Reservation-holders are starting to get deliveries of their Model 3s at long last, but there’s rising ire among some who say that Tesla is swapping out premium interior materials for lower-quality cloth versions on premium trim packages without notice, explanation or any offer to discount the price. Threads on both the Tesla Motors Club forum […]

(credit: Collin Ladd, NC State University) The discovery of graphene—a one-atom-thick sheet of covalently bonded carbon atoms—inspired the research community to generate a variety of 2D materials. Graphene, MoS2, the silicon equivalent of graphene, and more all have distinct properties based on the chemical bonding among their component atoms. […]
