Nominations invited for $250,000 Kabiller Prize in Nanoscience

Major international prize recognizes a visionary nanotechnology researcher.

Quantum matter - shaken, but not stirred

Researchers experimentally realized an exotic quantum system which is robust to mixing by periodic forces.

Finding the balance between keeping molecules whole or splitting them on oxides

Scientists end long-standing controversy about a ubiquitous reaction involved in catalysts, corrosion, and more.

Dream of energy-collecting windows Is one step closer to reality

Researchers developed technology to embed the silicon nanoparticles into what they call efficient luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs). These LSCs are the key element of windows that can efficiently collect solar energy.

Switched-on DNA sparks nanoelectronics applications

DNA, the stuff of life, may very well also pack quite the jolt for engineers trying to advance the development of tiny, low-cost electronic devices.
