Shape shifting surface fools infrared cameras in both heat and cold
Scientists have created a flexible material that hides objects from thermal imaging by adjusting how much heat it emits. This surface works in two ways, automatically adapting to hot surroundings or locking into place when cold. It maintains a…

Scientists Just Split a Single Photon. Here’s What They Found
Physicists have, for the first time, shown that even a single photon obeys one of nature’s strictest rules: conservation of angular momentum. Achieved only once in a billion attempts, this needle-in-a-haystack success not only proves a…

US scientists create reusable ‘jelly ice’ that never melts
Melting ice is a hassle. It leaves a soggy mess, dilutes drinks, and contaminates food.
Researchers have now created a new kind of reusable, compostable ice that never leaves a puddle behind.
University of California, Davis food scientists…

Branched polymers protect cell mimics that can interact with biological cells | Research
A stabilising sheath of interlocking polymers enables coacervate microdroplets to more closely mimic natural cells than ever before. The researchers behind the work showed how the protected coacervates can form part of a chemical signalling…
