Researchers use graphene, electricity to change stem cells for nerve regrowth

Researchers have developed a nanotechnology that uses inkjet printers to print multi-layer graphene circuits and also uses lasers to treat and improve the surface structure and conductivity of those circuits.

Rapid capture of cancer markers with lipid nanoprobes will aid in diagnosis and treatment

Researchers at Penn State have developed nanoprobes to rapidly isolate extracellular vesicles for potential development of precision cancer diagnoses and personalized anticancer treatments.

Putting a spin on logic gates

A recent experimental demonstration uses the interference of spin-waves - synchronous waves of electron spin alignment observed in magnetic systems - to build a logic gate for devices too small for classical physics.

Infrared-emitting quantum dots open new window for biological imaging

Quantum dots that emit infrared light enable highly detailed images of internal body structures.

Physicist discovers strange forces acting on nanoparticles

A new paper is shedding light on a strange force impacting particles at the smallest level of the material world.

Researchers invent ultra-thin multilayer film for next-generation data storage and processing

A team of scientists has invented a novel ultra-thin multilayer film which could harness the properties of tiny magnetic whirls, known as skyrmions, as information carriers for storing and processing data on magnetic media.

Diamonds coupled using quantum physics

Atomic defects in diamonds can be used as quantum memories. Researchers for the first time have succeeded in coupling the defects in various diamonds using quantum physics.
