Nanoscale ripples in thin materials, caused by thermal energy at room temperature, significantly influence their mechanical properties, affecting their potential use in electronics.

Scientists have discovered further details on the colossal mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs using a new map ...

Scientists have created a new map of "mega ripples" on the seafloor caused by the Chicxulub asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs, revealing further the events that led to the devastating ...

Researchers found that the impact triggered mega ripples on the seafloor, sometimes as high as a five-story building, extending across a much larger area than previously thought. They say the new ...

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Calls from the U.S. to Roustan Hockey headquarters in Canada in recent weeks have been anything but routine, as bulk orders of name-brand sticks have suddenly become complicat ...

(Nanowerk News) When materials are created on a nanometer scale — just a handful of atoms thick — even the thermal energy present at room temperature can cause structural ripples. How these ripples ...
