Researchers introduce new route to thermal measurements with nanometer resolution

Scientists report on a versatile platform for nanoscale thermal measurements based on a combination of magnetic resonance, and optical and atomic force microscopy.

Interference at a double slit made of two atoms

Scientists observe unusual interference phenomena by scattering laser light from two atoms trapped inside an optical resonator.

Chemists combine biology, nanotechnology to create alternate energy source

Chemists have made a transformational advance in an alternate lighting source - one that doesn't require a battery or a plug.

New 2-D material could upstage graphene

The new material is made up of silicon, boron and nitrogen - all light, inexpensive and earth abundant elements - and is extremely stable, a property many other graphene alternatives lack.

Nanotechnology delivery system offers new approach to skin disease therapies

Scientists have developed a nanotechnology-based delivery system containing a protective cellular pathway inducer that activates the body's natural defense against free radicals efficiently, a development that could control a variety of skin pathologies and disorders.

Stretchable electronics that quadruple in length (w/video)

Researchers have developed conductive tracks that can be bent and stretched up to four times their original length. They could be used in artificial skin, connected clothing and on-body sensors.

New form of electron-beam imaging can see elements that are 'invisible' to common methods

Scientists have developed a new imaging technique, tested on samples of nanoscale gold and carbon, that greatly improves images of light elements using fewer electrons.

Nanoparticles on nanosteps

Researchers have developed a material that maintains the stability of a dispersed catalyst, thus maximising the efficiency of the process and decreasing costs and wastage.
