Laser evaporation technology to create new solar materials

Delicate hybrid organic-inorganic crystals open new possibilities for light-based technologies.

Carbon nanotubes devices may have a limit to how 'nano' they can be

Carbon nanotubes bound for electronics not only need to be as clean as possible to maximize their utility in next-generation nanoscale devices, but contact effects may limit how small a nano device can be.

The making of biorelevant nanomaterials

A combined strategy of polymerization and electrostatic self-assembly to synthesize low-dimensional polyion complex nanomaterials with various morphologies.

Physicists take first step toward cell-sized robots (w/video)

An electricity-conducting, environment-sensing, shape-changing machine the size of a human cell? Is that even possible?
