When it comes to choosing the best hydrangeas for shade, the first thing you need to know is that most varieties prefer to be in partial shade. If your garden gets a few hours of direct sunlight each day, this is known as partial shade. Hydrangeas do best in this type of dappled shade, where … Read more
This figure shows the synthesis of metallic 1D mirror twin boundaries via Van der Waals epitaxial growth (top) and the large 2D semiconductor integrated circuit constructed from these boundaries (bottom). By controlling the crystal structure of molybdenum disulfide at the atomic level using Van der Waals epitaxial growth, metallic 1D mirror twin boundaries were freely … Read more

Scientists have used a new technique to synthesize diamonds at normal atmospheric pressure and without a starter gemstone, making the precious gemstones much easier to grow in the laboratory. Natural diamonds form in the Earth’s mantle, buried the molten zone hundreds of kilometers beneath the planet’s surface. The process occurs under enormous pressure of several … Read more
