Researchers use graphene templates to make new metal-oxide nanostructures
Researchers have found a new method for making ultrathin metal-oxide sheets containing intricate wrinkle and crumple patterns. In a study they show that the textured metal-oxide films have better performance when used as photocatalysts and as battery electrodes.
Physicists gain insights into why materials break
New research suggests scientists could eventually help create materials that resist breaking or crack in a predictable fashion.
Nanocellulose in medicine and green manufacturing
What if you could take one of the most abundant natural materials on earth and harness its strength to lighten the heaviest of objects, to replace synthetic materials, or use it in scaffolding to grow bone, in a fast-growing area of science in oral health care?
Nanoshells: Potential catalysts and cradles of life (w/video)
A way to coax simple, inorganic nanoparticles to spontaneously assemble into shells has been discovered, potentially paving the way for more efficient industrial chemical processing, gene delivery and clean-up of chemical contaminants in the environment, researchers say. And it explores how life may have started.
Direct determination of bandgap energy of single cesium lead bromide nanocrystals
Scientists determined directly the relation between the bandgap energy of single cesium lead bromide nanocrystals and their size and shape.
Salty batteries
Sodium-oxygen batteries have improved cycle life due to highly concentrated electrolytes.
Spin liquid on a peak
Researchers have modelled a particular spin liquid, showing that disorder can co-exist with order.
