An electronic signal expands material by a factor of 100

Researchers have discovered a material that can both increase and reduce its volume when exposed to a weak electrical pulse. In a sponge, or filter, the researchers can control the size of particles that pass through.

Nanoelectronics simulations to identify optimal heat-evacuating properties

Team simulates nanoelectronics through data-centric lens, gaining a 140-fold speedup on the Summit supercomputer.

Researchers use light emitted from nanoparticles to intricately control biological processes

New nanoparticles can adjust the beating speed of heart cells by emitting different colours of light. Light from nanoparticle clusters was also able to activate anticancer drugs within cells.
