Material behaviors depend on many things including not just the composition of the material but also the arrangement of its molecular parts. For the first time, researchers have found a way to coax carbon nanotubes into creating moiré patterns. Such structures could be useful in materials research, in particular in the field of superconducting materials.

Training Day is one of the archetypal crime dramas of its time. It features a classic standoff between a young, fresh-off-the-street rookie police officer named Jake Hoyt (Ethan Hawke) and his veteran partner Alonzo Harris (Denzel Washington). The older cop is ostensibly evaluating his young partner, but in actuality he’s breaking Jake hm down and
This THE FLASH review contains spoilers. The Flash Season 7 Episode 2 Many of us probably suspected that The Flash wasn’t likely to keep Iris in the Mirror Universe much longer, since that particular subplot trotted past tired and well into dull when we were still officially in Season 6. Yet, “The Speed of Thought”

Nanoengineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a “wearable microgrid” that harvests and stores energy from the human body to power small electronics. It consists of three main parts: sweat-powered biofuel cells, motion-powered devices called triboelectric generators, and energy-storing supercapacitors. All parts are flexible, washable and can be screen printed onto clothing.
The Dark Knight not so much glided back onto cinema screens in 2012 as he hobbled across them.
