Drawing at the one-nanometer length scale

Scientists set record resolution for patterning materials at sizes as small as a single nanometer using microscope-based lithography.

Blurring the line between animate and inanimate: 'Active' matter drives self-propelled fluid

For the first time, self-organized, soft machines powered by molecular motors propelled fluid for hours across meters.

Good vibrations for the future of computing

Vibrating mechanical switches that can be cascaded to perform complex computational operations could take computing significantly further than today's technologies.

Evaporation with a nanoporous membrane

Researchers have developed an ultrathin, nanoporous membrane evaporator with a membrane thickness of 200 nm and pore radius of 65 nm.

New method for tissue regeneration, inspired by nature

Scientists have found a way of mimicking our body's natural healing process, using cell derived nano-sized particles called vesicles, to repair damaged tissue.

Ultra-energy-efficient magnetic memory by controlling the shapes of atoms

Scientists have discovered a new principle to realize ultra-energy-efficient magnetic memory by electrically controlling the shapes of atoms.
