Hidden climate risk posed by carbon-chomping soil bacteria

ISLAMABAD-Much of the earth’s carbon is trapped in soil, and scientists have assumed that potential climate-warming compounds would safely stay there for centuries. But new research from Princeton University shows that carbon molecules can potentially escape the soil much faster than previously thought. The findings suggest a key […]

Molecular nanofibers constructed that are stronger than steel

ISLAMABAD-Self-assembly of Kevlar-inspired molecules leads to structures with robust properties, offering new materials for solid-state applications.Self-assembly is ubiquitous in the natural world, serving as a route to form organized structures in every living organism. This phenomenon can be seen, for instance, when two strands of DNA […]
