Designing COF-based heterogeneous catalysts for selective CO2 photoreduction

Researchers present the first demonstration of COFs hosting metalloporphyrin-based carbon dots for selective CO2 photoreduction.

A force from nothing used to control and manipulate objects

Scientists provide a new way to measure the Casimir force and use it to control objects.

Atoms at the photo shoot

Scientists have photographed, for the first time, individual atoms floating less than a thousandth of a millimeter above a light-conducting glass fiber.

Novel approach improves graphene-based supercapacitors

Researchers are working on a pathway to improve the performance of supercapacitors, and meet that demand for increased storage capacity.

An autonomous synthesis bot for quantum dots

Researchers have developed an intelligent flow-based QD synthesis strategy, which utilizes plug-and-play fluidic microreactors capable of autonomous synthesis and optimization of colloidal QDs across multiple target parameters simultaneously.

Graphene oxid based test detects infections in just 15 minutes

Scientists have developed a handy graphene oxid based sensor platform to detect acute infections such as sepsis or the antibodies against the coronavirus within minutes.

Simplified circuit design could revolutionise how wearables are manufactured

Researchers have demonstrated the use of a ground-breaking circuit design that could transform manufacturing processes for wearable technology.

Moth eye inspires self-cleaning, anti-icing, antireflection, and self-healing coating

Researchers demonstrate a facile, icephobic, highly transparent, and self-healable solid slippery surface to overcome the mentioned drawbacks using a combination of the biomimetic nanopillar structure (moth-eye structure) and the biomimetic solid lubricant (paraffin wax).
