Nanotechnology for energy materials: Electrodes like leaf veins

Researchers have demonstrated that networks of metallic mesh possessing fractal-like nano-features surpass other metallic networks in utility.

It's delightful, it's dynamic, it's dewetting

How would you like a kitchen surface that cleans itself? Technological advances such as this could be one step closer after a breakthrough by researchers.

Mechanical behavior of tiny structures is affected by atomic defects

Scientists have measured the mechanics of tiny crystalline ceramics.

Travelling through the body with graphene

For the first time researchers succeeded to place a layer of graphene on top of a stable fatty lipid monolayer. Surrounded by a protective shell of lipids graphene could enter the body and function as a versatile sensor.

Scientists visualise quantum behaviour of hot electrons for first time

Scientists have, for the first time, identified a method of visualising the quantum behaviour of electrons on a surface. The findings present a promising step forward towards being able to manipulate and control the behaviour of high energy, or 'hot', electrons.
