Study finds unexpected long-range particle interactions (w/video)

Spinning cells could attract each other across surprisingly long distances.

Physicists discover new material that may speed computing

Physicists have discovered a topological metal, PtSn4 (platinum and tin), with a unique electronic structure that may someday lead to energy efficient computers with increased processor speeds and data storage.

Tumble-proof cargo transporter in biological cells

New model shows how collective transport by synthetic nanomotors along biopolymer filaments can be effectively directed.

Topology explains queer electrical current boost in non-magnetic metal

An international team of physicists has discovered that applying a magnetic field to a non-magnetic metal made it conduct 70% more electricity, even though basic physics principles would have predicted the opposite.

New research pioneers nanotechnology for gas sensing

A team of scientists have created a new type of device that could be used to develop cost-effective gas sensors.

Photochemical metallization allows the manufacture of touchscreens in a single step

Researchers are presenting a new process that, in a single step, allows manufacture of conductive paths that are just a few micrometers in width on flexible foils. As a result, new designs for appliances with flexible or even rollable displays will be possible.

Energy storage materials under pressure

Surprising discovery: the adsorption capacity of MOFs does not rise automatically with increasing pressure.

Graphene Flagship announces a new Work Package to design 2D-materials-based biomedical technologies

The Biomedical Technologies Work Package will focus on the development of smart implants with therapeutic functionality for specific clinical outcomes in disciplines such as neurology, ophthalmology and surgery.

Battery components can take the heat

Researchers create robust 'white graphene' electrolyte and separator for lithium-ion batteries.
