Nanoscale stretching or compressing significantly boost the performance of ceria, a material widely used in catalytic converters and clean-energy technologies, Stanford scientists report. A tiny ...

A tiny amount of squeezing or stretching can produce a big boost in catalytic performance, according to a new study led by scientists at Stanford University and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.

The researchers employed a concept that is a part of the transportation network in cells. "Walking" filament-shaped proteins, such as kinesin, carry cargo on one of their ends while two foot-shaped ...

Optical temporal imaging is a technique that involves stretching or compressing an optical waveform in time, while fully preserving its temporal structure. Usually, the technique is used to manipulate ...
