Micelles are spherical molecular structures usually formed by amphiphilic molecules with block structure, which contain both hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts. The hydrophobic tails of these molecules ...

The parrot's brain has a nested 'core and shell' structure for vocal learning. Neurons in the shell surrounding the established vocal centers of the parrot brain play a part in vocal learning and ...

In the world of metals, it has long been considered common knowledge that achieving both strength and ductility (the ability to stretch without breaking) at the same time is nearly impossible. When a ...

A new approach has emerged in which metals are deliberately designed with heterogeneous grain structures, combining grains of different sizes. This strategy has shown promise as a solution, but ...

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking 'Hybrid Supraparticle Synthesis Technology' that attaches inorganic nanoparticles to the surface of polymer microparticles through simple mechanical ...
