Researchers have made a rare observation where the local crystal structure symmetry or the arrangement of atoms in the immediate vicinity of a given atom, in a crystal, reduces upon warming, contrary to the usual trend of symmetry of crystal structures increasing with rising temperatures. The study underlines the significance …

A prototype of a road safety sensor that can be implanted at high-risk turning points where accidents are frequent, has been developed from a new polymer nanocomposite with pressure sensing and energy harvesting properties. Scientists are constantly trying to develop new materials for self-powered energy generating and pressure sensing devices …
