Cameron University will be presenting a virtual workshop titled “CU in History and Political Science” Tuesday evening.

However, there was something painfully absent in these efforts — you! One of the lessons last year taught us, is to appreciate our opportunities — whether it is to be with your family, friends or serve your community freely through volunteer service. Some new service opportunities appeared while others were placed on hold. Thankfully, we are excited to announce the Scallop Sitters Citizen Scientist Restoration Program is returning to our area in St. Andrew, St. Joe and Apalachicola Bays ...

Regardless if strained or compressed, the new material always expands. CREDIT Thomas Heine et al. Abstract: If you stretch an elastic band, it becomes thinner - a physical behavior that applies to most "common" materials. Since the 20th century, an opposite behavior has been known in materials research: The so-called auxetic (from ancient Greek auxetos, meaning stretchable) materials expand in the direction orthogonal to the strain. Likewise, they shrink when they are compressed. Scientifically...

Nanotechnology Now Home > Press > Instrument at BESSY II shows how light activates MoS2 layers to become catalysts A new instrument at BESSY II can be used to study molybdenum-sulfide thin films that are of interest as catalysts for solar hydrogen production. A light pulse triggers a phase transition from the semiconducting to the metallic phase and thus enhances the catalytic activity. CREDIT Martin Künsting /HZB Abstract: MoS2 thin films of superposed alternating layers of molybdenum and sul...
