Scientists Achieve Bottom-Up Synthesis of Molecular Nanodiamonds
Researchers have achieved a breakthrough in creating nanodiamonds just 3 to 4 nanometers in size, not by breaking down larger diamonds, but by building them precisely from molecular nanographenes, acc
Plasma-Flow Control Overturns Fundamental Aeronautical Engineering Principles
In a vacuum chamber at the University of Zurich, a drone achieved stable, sustained flight with no wings or propellers.
