Silk-like sequences shape barnacles’ permanent adhesive; produce sticky, durable bond
January 24, 2017 — A new study published in Scientific Reports shows how barnacles borrow design cues from insect silks to produce an adhesive that permanently bonds with surfaces underwater, allowing them to survive pounding waves at the rocky shores they often inhabit... MORE

Researchers Tackle Barnacles from a Different Perspective
January 17, 2017 — Barnacles are a serious problem for the U.S. Navy. A billion-dollar problem. Encrustations of hard foulers -- like barnacles and other sea life -- are estimated to cost the Navy $56 million per year in maintenance costs and increased fuel consumption for Arleigh Burke-class destroyers alone...

NRL Detects Opposite Spin in Topological Insulator Surface States
January 5, 2017 — Scientists at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) have reported the first direct comparison of the spin polarization generated in the topologically protected Dirac states of a topological insulator (TI) bismuth selenide (Bi2Se3) and the trivial 2-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) states at the surface of indium arsenide (InAs)...

NRL Develops Novel Monolayer Ferroelectric Hybrid Structures
January 3, 2017 — Scientists at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), Materials Science and Technology Division, have demonstrated that the intensity and spectral composition of the photoluminescence emitted from a single monolayer of tungsten disulphide (WS2) can be spatially controlled by the polarization domains in an adjacent film of the ferroelectric material lead zirconium titanate (PZT)...
