Optical nanoantennas set the stage for a NEMS lab-on-a-chip revolution
Newly developed tiny antennas, likened to spotlights on the nanoscale, offer the potential to measure food safety, identify pollutants in the air and even quickly diagnose and treat cancer, according to the scientists who created them.
Together, nanotechnology and genetic interference may tackle 'untreatable' brain tumors
Researchers' groundbreaking strategy stops brain tumor cell proliferation with targeted nanoparticles.
Nanoboxes provide breakthrough in rechargeable batteries
Researchers have synthesized silicate-based nanoboxes that could more than double the energy capacity of lithium-ion batteries as compared to conventional phosphate-based cathodes.
Ultra-thin nanowires can trap electron 'twisters' that disrupt superconductors
To keep supercurrents flowing at top speed, scientists have figured out how to constrain troublesome vortices by trapping them within extremely short, ultra-thin nanowires.
The European nanotechnology roadmap for graphene
In an open-access paper, more than 60 academics and industrialists lay out a science and technology roadmap for graphene, related two-dimensional crystals, other 2D materials, and hybrid systems based on a combination of different 2D crystals and other nanomaterials.
Detecting defects at the nanoscale will profit solar panel production
The goal of the European NanoMend project is to develop new technologies for the detection, cleaning and repair of micro and nanoscale defects in thin films that are vital in products such as printed electronics and solar panels.
New 'knobs' can dial in control of materials
Designing or exploring new materials is all about controlling their properties. In a new study, scientists offer insight on how different 'knobs' can change material properties in ways that were previously unexplored or misunderstood.
Fakir-like graphene
Researchers have created a variety of nanostructures that can modify the electronic properties of graphene, either by periodic modulation of the electrostatic potential, or by periodic mechanical stress that can generate an effective magnetic structure.
New projects support research in 'valleytronics'
Two new three-year research projects are supporting the role of the Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy Sciences (SIMES) as a leading center for studying exotic new materials that could enable future innovative electronic and photonic applications.
