Serendipity uncovers borophene's potential

Organic material self-assembles next to borophene with nearly perfect interface.

Scientists decipher the nanoscale architecture of a beetle's shell

A better understanding of beetle exoskeletons could help engineer lighter, stronger materials.

Improved polymer and new assembly method for ultra-conformable 'electronic tattoo' devices

Process uses household inkjet printer without soldering to create 750 nm-thin elastomeric sheet.

Scientists create a nano-trampoline to probe quantum behavior

Scientists have developed an experiment to detect quantum events in ultra-thin films. This research enhances the understanding of basic phenomena that occur in nano-sized systems close to absolute zero temperature.

Nanoparticles could be the future of agriculture

Nanoparticles that have always been considered a pollutant are being studied for a range of agricultural uses.
