Perfection does indeed come from flaws, as a new discovery in the fields of nanotechnology and energy conductivity indicates. Namely, a team of US experts managed to alter the internal structure of carbon nanotubes that typically behaved as insulators so that now it performs better than the traditionally-used silicon... |

The Fibonacci spirals and their occurrence in plants, from pinecones and pineapples to sunflowers, have always fascinated mathematicians, physicists and biologists, but they are still an enigma. A new experiment has succeeded in producing Fibonacci spirals in the lab and points that an elastically mismatched bi-layer... |
