The first images of mid-infrared optical waves compressed 1,000 times captured using a highly sensitive scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscope. KAIST researchers and their collaborators…
During the COVID-19 pandemic, people have grown accustomed to wearing facemasks, but many coverings are fragile and not easily disinfected. Metal foams are durable, and…
Columbia Engineers use DNA nanotechnology to create highly resilient synthetic nanoparticle-based materials that can be processed through conventional nanofabrication methods. Columbia Engineering researchers, working with…
Researchers at the University of Ottawa have debunked the decade-old myth of metals being useless in photonics – the science and technology of light –…
Study shows how century-old design principle can be a pathway to overcoming failure. Catastrophic collapse of materials and structures is the inevitable consequence of a…
The electron is one of the fundamental particles in nature we read about in school. Its behavior holds clues to new ways to store digital…
Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation is almost doubling the annual budget of the research initiative Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology, based at Chalmers University of…
Researchers design a new highly-selective tool to study “undruggable” proteins through the sugars they depend on. Sugar has been called “evil,” “toxic,” and “poison.” But…
Tiny photonic devices could be used to find new exoplanets, monitor our health, and make the internet more energy efficient. Researchers from Chalmers University of…
Technology paves way for intelligent solar cells, other highly efficient devices programmed at the macro and nano scale. Researchers at Tufts University School of Engineering…
Researchers at Osaka University create voltage-controlled nanopores that can trap particles as they try to pass through, which may lead to single-molecule sensors, along with…
A 2D Perspective: Stacking Materials to Realize a Low Power Consuming Future Scientists have designed a 2D material-based multi-stacked structure comprising tungsten disulfide (WS2) layer…
Proteins choreograph the infinitesimal dance of living cells and functional biomaterials. An interdisciplinary research team at Lehigh University has unraveled how functional biomaterials rely upon…
You’re going at the speed limit down a two-lane road when a car barrels out of a driveway on your right. You slam on the…
NASA’s Perseverance Rover recently made a successful landing on Mars, embarking on a two-year mission to seek signs of ancient life and collect samples. Because…
