A fast, non-destructive test for two-dimensional materials
Researchers have developed a fast, nondestructive optical method for analyzing defects in two-dimensional materials.
New organic lasers one step closer to reality
New research could make lasers emitting a wide range of colors more accessible and open new applications from communications and sensing to displays.
Tiny joints for reconfigurable microstructure
Physicists exploit self-assembly of small particles to someday create functional structures such as micro-robots from the bottom up. Now they took an important step forward by experimentally realizing joints on the micrometer scale.
Atomically thin layers of water hold promise for the energy storage of the future
Researchers have found that a material which incorporates atomically thin layers of water is able to store and deliver energy much more quickly than the same material that doesn't include the water layers.
Scientists set record resolution for drawing at the one-nanometer length scale
An electron microscope-based lithography system for patterning materials at sizes as small as a single nanometer could be used to create and study materials with new properties.
A material inspired by a sea worm changes according to the environment
A hydrogel made from a synthesized protein, similar to the one that makes up the jaw of a sea worm and which gives it structural stability and impressive mechanical performance.
Interfering with graphene
Characteristic patterns formed by carbon sheets on metal foil can reveal sources of strain.
