New color technology can replace environmentally unfriendly paints and other coatings - also in art

Presenting the first two artworks ever made with viewing angle-independent structural colors.

Researchers weigh whole virus capsids and extend reach of mass spectrometry with nanomechanical sensors

Researchers have demonstrated a new mass-spectrometry technology based on nanomechanical resonators that measures the mass of particles previously beyond the reach of current commercial technology, and which they used to measure the mass of a whole bacteriophage virus capsid.

Using fine-tuning for record-breaking solar cell performance

Materials scientists have achieved a new record in the performance of organic non-fullerene based single-junction solar cells.

Disordered materials could be hardest, most heat-tolerant carbides

Computational simulations predict new class of carbides that could disrupt industries from machinery to aerospace.
