Researchers at Osaka University develop liquid-phase 3D-patterning to create nanocellulose films aligned along multiple axes within the same sheet. This work may lead to ever…
Acoustofluidics is the fusion of acoustics and fluid mechanics which provides a contact-free, rapid and effective manipulation of fluids and suspended particles. The applied acoustic…
Researchers at University of Toronto Engineering and Carnegie Mellon University are using artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate progress in transforming waste carbon into a commercially…
To Make an Atom-Sized Machine, You Need a Quantum Mechanic Here’s a new chapter in the story of the miniaturization of machines: researchers in a…
How an atomically thin device could become a biotech breakthrough. A technology spun from carbon nanotube sensors discovered 20 years ago by Lawrence Berkeley National…
Vaccines are one of the most effective interventions to prevent the spreading of infectious diseases. They trigger the immune system to produce antibodies that protect…
Since the outbreak of COVID-19, there’s been a worldwide shortage of face masks — particularly, the N95 ones worn by health care workers. Although these…
A tiny sail made of the thinnest material known – one carbon-atom-thick graphene – has passed initial tests designed to show that it could be…
David Storm, a research physicist, and Tyler Growden, an electrical engineer, both with the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, developed a new gallium nitride-based electrical component…
When something just works, that’s usually a good thing. But for scientists and engineers, when something works and they don’t understand the mechanism behind it,…
Experts from the University of Surrey believe their dream of clean energy storage is a step closer after they unveiled their ground-breaking super-capacitor technology that…
Graphene is a diamagnetic material, this is, unable of becoming magnetic. However, a triangular piece of graphene is predicted to be magnetic. This apparent contradiction…
Rice University engineers adapt 2D ‘sandwich’ for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. A sandwich of molybdenum, sulfur, and selenium turns out to be deliciously useful for detecting…
Study co-led by Berkeley Lab reveals how wavelike plasmons could power up a new class of sensing and photochemical technologies at the nanoscale. Wavelike, collective…
University of Massachusetts Amherst team introduces high-performing ‘green’ electronic sensor. Writing in the journal NanoResearch, a team at the University of Massachusetts Amherst reports this…
Carbon nanotubes embedded in leaves detect chemical signals that are produced when a plant is damaged. MIT engineers have developed a way to closely track…
Quantum entanglement is a process by which microscopic objects like electrons or atoms lose their individuality to become better coordinated with each other. Entanglement is…
