Calcium oxide is a cheap, chalky chemical compound commonly used in the manufacturing of cement, plaster, paper, and steel. But the material may soon have a more high-tech application.

The initial formulation of this hypothesis brought forth a variety of structural speculations aimed at linking the biological role of deoxyribonucleic acid to its molecular structure.

As devices shrink, packing more power into smaller spaces becomes essential. Gallium-doped indium oxide, with its crystal-like structure and high electron mobility, could lead the way.

Graphene oxide has good water adsorption properties, which are properties that enable water to bond to the surface of a material. Calcium also has good water adsorption properties. The research team ...
