Conductive nature in crystal structures revealed at magnification of 10 million times

Study opens up possibilities for new transparent materials that conduct electricity.

Diamonds are a cell's best friend

Scientists have used tiny diamonds, or nanodiamonds, to measure heat transfer inside living cells, potentially leading to new diagnostic tools and therapies for cancer.

Controlling chemical catalysts with sculpted light

Using state-of-the-art fabrication and imaging, researchers watched the consequences of adding sculpted light to a catalyst during a chemical transformation. This work could inform more efficient -- and potentially new -- forms of catalysis.

Fluorescence microscopy at highest spatial and temporal resolution

Researchers simplify the MINFLUX microscope and have succeeded in differentiating molecules that are extremely close together and tracking their dynamics.

In lab study, nanoparticle shows promising results for treating severe allergies

Scientists develop approach that enables immune system to tolerate allergens.

How to give computers a sense of smell

Researchers create a highly sensitive biohybrid olfactory sensor.

Scientists synthetize graphene-based material for high-performance supercapacitors

Scientists synthetized a new material based on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) for supercapacitors, energy storage devices. The rGO modification method with the use of organic molecules, derivatives of hypervalent iodine, allowed obtaining a material that stores 1.7 times more electrical energy.
