The crystal structure of these atomically thin materials makes them extremely sensitive to mechanical strain – tiny stretches or compressions of the atomic lattice. In principle, this strain ...

Researchers at Rice University used light-activated molecular machines to trigger intercellular calcium wave signals which they say demonstrates a new strategy for controlling cellular activity. The ...

EtherCAT is an open, realtime, and deterministic Ethernet fieldbus standard widely regarded as one of the best industrial networks to date. One reason for its growing use is that it's several orders ...
