Launching a novel means to train a diverse work­force to develop nanomedicine: The Nanomed­i­cine Academy of Minority Serving Institutions.

Lipoprotein nanoplatelets shed new light on biological molecules and cells

Researchers have developed a new material composite derived from quantum dots. These lipoprotein nanoplatelets are rapidly taken up by cells and retain their fluorescence, making them particularly well-suited for imaging cells and understanding disease mechanisms.

Promising new approach for controlled fabrication of carbon nanostructures

Researchers have developed a new strategy for fabricating atomically controlled carbon nanostructures used in molecular carbon-based electronics.

New material for detecting photons captures more quantum information

Detecting individual particles of light just got a bit more precise - by 74 picoseconds to be exact - thanks to advances in fabricating superconducting nanowires.

Study reveals shared behavior of microbes and electrons

Bacteria streaming through a lattice behave like electrons in a magnetic material.

Unprecedented precise determination of three-dimensional atomic positions

For the first time, electron tomography reveals the 3D coordinates of individual atoms and defects in a material.

New bimetallic alloy nanoparticles for printed electronic circuits

Production of oxidation-resistant copper alloy nanoparticles by electrical explosion of wire for printed electronics.

Graphene can be the perfect mesh for filtering different isotopes of hydrogen (w/video)

Graphene can simplify production of heavy water and help clean nuclear waste by filtering different isotopes of hydrogen, new research indicates.

The world's smallest hard ferrite nanomagnet

Scientists have successfully developed the world's smallest nanomagnet, a single-digit nanosize hard ferrite magnet composed of iron oxide. Being composed of iron and oxygen, the magnet is eco-friendly, low cost, and suitable for mass production.
