Researchers at Penn State have created triangular single layers of tungsten disulfide that exhibit unusual photoluminescent properties and may have potential applications in optical technology….
Scientists at the University of Oxford have developed a new way of growing graphene without the defects that weaken it and prevent electrons from flowing…
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have created a new type of microchip that allows information to move in three dimensions, left to right, back…
Researchers at Rice University have shown the ability to pattern a conductor (graphene) and insulator (hexagonal boron nitride) into a one-atom-thick hybrid of graphene and…
By developing a method to reversibly control the crumpling and unfolding of large-area graphene sheets, researchers at Duke University were able to demonstrate that crumpled…
Using the space transformation theory and engineering capability of metamaterials, researchers from Southeast University in China, National University of Singapore and University of Birmingham have…
In a newly published study, researchers from Aalto University show that black silicon can improve the efficiency of solar cells by improving the light absorption…
Engineers at the University of Michigan have developed a nanoscale coating that can repel virtually any liquid, possibly leading to breathable protective wear for soldiers…
Using a sulfur cathode made of nanoparticles where each tiny sulfur nugget is surrounded by a hard shell of porous titanium dioxide, researchers at Stanford…
In an effort to find a new way to deliver precise doses of drugs to specific targets, scientists at North Carolina State University developed a…
The phenomenon of cathodoluminescence gave geologists an easy way to identify quartz and other minerals in rock samples. Cathodoluminescence allows a piece of quartz to…
A new metamaterial created by researchers at Cornell University, is soft enough that it can flow like a liquid, but can then it can return…
Researchers at Duke University found that a molecule made with a polynorbornene backbone can act as a lever to open a ring embedded within the…
Using a 180-nanometer-thick layer of vanadium dioxide on top of a sheet of sapphire, researchers at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have…
Researchers at the North Carolina State University have created conductive wires that are made out of liquid metal, with the ability to stretch eight times…
Samarium hexoboride, a compound that had been poorly understood and that can gain conducting properties at very low temperatures, may be a topological insulator in…
Nanoscale cubes of silver could help make more efficient solar panels, heat detectors and specialist cameras. The randomly scattered cubes were placed on pieces of…
Graphene can support 50,000 times its own weight and can spring back into shape after being compressed by up to 80%. Graphene also has a…
