Skyrmions could provide next generation data storage

Scientists have moved a step closer to developing the next generation of data storage and processing devices, using an emerging science called skyrmionics.

All-dielectric alloyed nanoantennas for temperature-feedback identification of viruses and explosives

All-dielectric nanoantennas remain chemically non-invasive, they cause no effect on the studied analytes and reactions.

New polymer mixture creates ultra-sensitive heat sensor

Polymer gels with tunable ionic Seebeck coefficient for ultra-sensitive printed thermopiles.

Biopsy alternative: Wearable graphene oxide device captures cancer cells from blood

A prototype wearable device, tested in animal models, can continuously collect live cancer cells directly from a patient's blood.

Behaviour of 'trapped' electrons in a one-dimensional world observed in the lab

Physicists directly observe the separation of spin and charge as predicted by the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid theory for the first time.

Nano-vehicle to deliver life-saving drugs

Many modern drugs are less effective than they could be because they are blocked by the body's own defences. Researchers have devised ways to bypass these barriers to get drugs to where they are needed.

A molecular Rubik's Cube

Researchers have created the smallest-ever version of the famous brain-teaser.
