Marriage of microscopy techniques reveals 3-D structure of critical protein complex

Researchers have solved the three-dimensional structure of a complex that is essential for the correct sorting of chromosomes into eggs and sperm during reproductive cell division or meiosis.

New technique to facilitate industrial production of various nanosheet-based devices

A research group has developed a novel technique to synthesize monolayer films composed of neatly tiled two-dimensional materials, such as oxide nanosheets and graphene, on substrate surfaces in as quickly as one minute.

Solar sunglasses generate solar power

Researchers present sunglasses with colored, semitransparent solar cells applied onto lenses that supply a microprocessor and two displays with electric power.

2D materials clean up their act

Scientists have shown that even the gas within which the 2D material stacks are assembled can affect the structure and properties of the materials.

Riding the wave: Pioneering research tames nanoquakes

Researchers have pioneered a new technique to control high frequency sound waves, commonly found within everyday devices such as mobile phones.

Development of logic circuits with diamond-based transistors

Researchers have succeeded for the first time in the world in developing logic circuits equipped with diamond-based MOSFETs (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistors) at two different operation modes.
