New method allows for greater variation in band gap tunability
The method can change a material's electronic band gap by up to 200 percent.
Generating Moebius strips of light
Researchers have experimentally produced Möbius strips from the polarization of light, confirming a theoretical prediction that it is possible for light?s electromagnetic field to assume this peculiar shape.
Using a single molecule to create a new magnetic field sensor
Scientists show how magnetism can manipulate the way electricity flows through a single molecule, a key step that could enable the development of magnetic field sensors for hard drives that are a tiny fraction of their present size.
Best practice guide for the safe handling and use of nanoparticles in packaging industries
A novel best practice guide is now available to support the safe handling and use of nanoparticles in packaging industries.
DNA nanoswitches reveal how life's molecules connect (w/video)
An accessible new way to study molecular interactions could lower cost and time associated with discovering new drugs.
Pinholes are pitfalls for high performance solar cells
The most popular next-generation solar cells under development may have a problem - the top layer is full of tiny pinholes, researchers have found.
