Detecting E. coli strains using molecular electronics

Electrical engineers have adapted a molecular electronic device called a single-molecule break junction to detect RNA from strains of E. coli known for causing illness.

In tune with the heart of a copper atom

Scientists have developed a new technique to control the magnetism of a single copper atom, a technology that could one day allow individual atomic nuclei to store and process information.

Standing in for a kidney, MXene materials could give dialysis patients the freedom to move

A type of two-dimensional layered material called MXene has emerged as a candidate to assist in replacing the body's waste filtration system in wearable kidneys.

Researchers develop new technique to understand biology at the nanoscale

Researchers for the first time have shown that they can use electrical fields to gain valuable information about the tiny, floating vesicles that move around in animals and plants and are critically important to many biological functions.

Physicists name and codify new field in nanotechnology: 'electron quantum metamaterials'

New materials are being synthesized by twisting and stacking atomically thin layers. To bring it all under one roof, physicists propose this field of research be called 'electron quantum metamaterials'.

Successful kick off meeting for the new LIFE project NanoEXPLORE

The Life NanoEXPLORE project addresses current data gaps and barriers limiting the implementation of REACH regulation and the use of human bio-monitoring data in the protection of human health and the environment when dealing with particles in the nanometer range.

Novel MOF-based material cleans and splits water

Researchers have developed a photocatalytic system based on a material in the class of metal-organic frameworks. The system can be used to degrade pollutants present in water while simultaneously producing hydrogen that can be captured and used further.

Nanoplatelets improve LCD and LED screens

Researchers have designed semiconductor nanoplatelets with a broadened range of colors to improve LCD and LED screens.
