(Nanowerk News) Similar to grass stems, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists have created nanostrut-connected tube-in-tubes that enable stronger low-density structural materials.

Tree Composites’ TC-joint used in jacket foundations for wind turbine generators (WTGs) has the potential to increase foundation structure manufacturing throughput by 100% by eliminating welding, ...

Given that phages are able to destroy bacteria, they are of particular interest to science. Basic researchers are especially interested in the tube used by phages to implant their DNA into bacteria.

A new class of materials called Carbon NanoTubes (CNTs) has attracted significant interest for a wide range of engineering applications. These materials look similar to graphitic carbon in structure.

Researchers have discovered a tube-shaped structure that forms temporarily in a certain type of virus to deliver its DNA during the infection process and then dissolves after its job is completed. The ...

More than a century after the RMS Titanic slipped beneath the Atlantic, engineers still chase the dream of ships that refuse ...
