Liquid metals come to the rescue of semiconductors

By bringing the sources of molybdenum and sulphur near the surface of gallium liquid metal, researchers were able to realize chemical reactions that form the molybdenum sulphur bonds to establish very large-scale two-dimensiona MoS2.

Liquid metal discovery to make toxic water safe and drinkable

Researchers have discovered a revolutionary and cheap way to make filters that can turn water contaminated with heavy metals into safe drinking water in a matter of minutes.

Experiments with twisted 2D materials catch electrons behaving collectively

Researchers report that carefully constructed stacks of graphene can exhibit highly correlated electron properties. The team also found evidence that this type of collective behavior likely relates to the emergence of exotic magnetic states.

'Like a fishing net', nanonet collapses to trap drug molecules

Novel method presents possibilities for rapidly making and testing vaccine formulations.

Squeezing light inside memory devices could help improve performance

Researchers have developed a method to ?squeeze? visible light in order to see inside tiny memory devices. The technique will allow researchers to probe how these devices break down and how their performance can be improved for a range of applications.

With multilayered approach, a filter to meet freshwater supply needs

In search of a better way to desalinate water, researchers turned to swimsuit material for inspiration.
