Researchers say the material has promising applications, such as advanced electronics and high-capacity batteries. Tulane University’s School of Science and Engineering has created a new…
CU Boulder scientists have successfully synthesized graphyne, which has been theorized for decades but never successfully produced. For over a decade, scientists have attempted to…
Working with the tiniest magnets, Hebrew University discovers a new magnetic phenomenon with industrial potential. For physicists, exploring the realm of the very, very small…
Physicists sometimes come up with bizarre stories that sound like science fiction. Yet some turn out to be true, like how the curvature of space…
A physical chemist and a diverse group of his students are working on applications with nanoscopic diamonds. Diamonds represent so much more to Abraham Wolcott…
Cowpea mosaic virus, a plant virus that infects legumes, has a special power that you may not be aware of: when injected into a tumor,…
Design also poised to save space, retain memory in event of power loss. A new spin on one of the 20th century’s smallest but grandest…
A newly created nano-architected material exhibits a property that previously was just theoretically possible: it can refract light backward, regardless of the angle at…
A nanomaterials-engineered penetrating sealer developed by Washington State University researchers is able to better protect concrete from moisture and salt – the two most damaging…
X-rays reveal compositional changes on active surface under reaction conditions. A DESY-led research team has been using high-intensity X-rays to observe a single catalyst nanoparticle…
The material offers the high performance and stability needed for industrial-scale electrolysis, which could produce a clean energy fuel from seawater. Hydrogen fuel derived from…
Breakthrough in stabilizing nanocrystals introduces a low-cost, energy-efficient light source for consumer electronic devices, detectors, and medical imaging. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are an unsung hero…
Simple creation of a super multi-element catalyst homogeneously containing 14 elements. A research group in Japan has successfully developed a “nanoporous super multi-element catalyst”[1] that…
Some electronics can bend, twist and stretch in wearable displays, biomedical applications, and soft robots. While these devices’ circuits have become increasingly pliable, the batteries…
Videos capture nanofiber behavior under water aerosol exposure. Since its outbreak, the COVID-19 virus has infected more than 220.9 million people worldwide and has claimed…
Thinner than a human hair, new material can absorb impacts from microparticles traveling at supersonic speeds. Engineers at Caltech, MIT, and ETH Zürich have developed…
Researchers have developed a ‘library of properties’ to help identify the environmental impact of nanomaterials faster and more cost-effectively. Whilst nanomaterials have benefited a wide…
Important funding for the intersectoral research work of two INRS professors. Patrick Drogui and My Ali El Khakani, professors at the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS),…
