A reaction that puzzled scientists for 50 years has now been explained by researchers at Ume University. Rapid structural snapshots captured how graphite transforms into graphite oxide during ...

Self‐oscillating gels represent a groundbreaking class of smart materials that convert chemical energy directly into mechanical motion. Central to their function is the Belousov–Zhabotinsky (BZ) ...

The video shows the surface of a material that was originally graphite, and how its appearance changes in waves. Above the footage, changes in voltage are displayed. When the voltage is high, many ...
