Understanding breakups could help improve nanoscale printing and spraying

A new model describing the deformation and breakup of droplets could help improve nanoscale printing and spraying.

Water-based and biocompatible 2D inks for printed electronics

Researchers have developed a method of producing water-based and inkjet printable 2D material inks, which could bring 2D crystal heterostructures from the lab into real-world products.

Probe for nanofibers has atom-scale sensitivity

Scientists have developed a novel method to measure how light propagates through a nanofiber, allowing them to determine the nanofiber?s thickness to a precision less than the width of an atom.

Wearable, low-cost nanowire sensor to measure skin hydration

Researchers have developed a wearable, wireless sensor that can monitor a person's skin hydration for use in applications that need to detect dehydration before it poses a health problem.

Cell-tracking nanomaterial agents get a boost

Rsearchers have synthesized a new and greatly improved generation of contrast agents for tagging and real-time tracking of stem cells in the body.
