A new way to hoard resources in nano-sized factories targeted for biotechnology

Scientists have created a synthetic nano-sized factory, based on natural ones found in bacteria. This research could someday lead to new medical, industrial or bioenergy applications.

Stronger graphene oxide 'paper' made with weaker units

Counterintuitive discovery is likely applicable to other 2D materials.

Solving the big problem of measuring tiny nanoparticles

Researchers have concluded that measuring the range of sizes in nanoparticles - instead of just the average particle size - is optimal for most applications.
