Unmasking the properties of 2D materials

Innovative method creates larger sheets of two-dimensional materials.

Fine-grained memory loss

Nanocrystalline shape memory alloys lose their memory as the crystalline grains get smaller.

The inner light: Nanotechnology reveals density of tumors

Tumor permeability can be a critical factor in how well a cancer therapy works. MSK researchers developed a method to measure this by creating living tumor spheroids and infiltrating them with carbon nanotubes that give off infrared light.

DNA 'Trojan horse' smuggles drugs into resistant cancer cells

Cells mistake DNA casing for food, consume drugs and die.

Nano-hinge lubricated by light

A nanoplasmonic system of DNA bundles can be opened and closed by optical means.

Controlling ultrafast electrons in motion

This experiment opens the way to the study of more complex processes which occur in nature on the scale of attoseconds (billionths of a billionth of a second), such as photosynthesis, combustion, catalysis and atmospheric chemistry.

Researchers develop new DNA nanopore analysis technique using infrared laser heat

Researchers have developed a new technique for analyzing DNA molecules that suggests the possibility for improving forensic DNA workflows for more rapid and accurate identification.

New microchip shrinks radar cameras to fit into a palm

Researchers have developed a chip that allows new radar cameras to be made a hundred times smaller than current ones.
