Magnets built atom-by-atom in first effort of its kind

Computers create recipe for two new magnetic materials.

New energies in gas sensing

An ultrathin semiconducting sheet showing gas-responsive electronic properties may lead to highly sensitive gas sensors.

Feeling the heat in cells

New nanosensors provide unprecedented data on how heat diffuses in and out of living cells.

Putting a block on dot-to-dot

Optimizing the tunneling of electrons between nanoscale electronic structures could aid the development of quantum computers.

Smaller is better for water-splitting catalyst

Experiments reveal how manganese oxide nanoparticles can mimic water-splitting biological complexes.
