Taking a a deep look at memristors

Scientists have now unveiled the long-mysterious inner workings of these semiconductor elements, which can act like the short-term memory of nerve cells.

A stopwatch for nanofluids

Biomanufacturing, cancer research, clinical diagnostics among potential applications.

A nanophenomenon that triggers the bone-repair process

Scientists have discovered that bone too is flexoelectric. They posit the possible role of flexoelectricity in the regeneration of bone tissue in and around the kind of microfractures incurred in bones on a daily basis.

2-D tin without buckling: A possible topological insulator

Researchers produce 2D sheets of tin atoms predicted to have exotic uses in electronics.

Tuning perovskite solar cells with nanoparticle additives

Researchers have employed carbon nanoparticles with an average diameter of 20 nm in high efficiency state-of-the-art perovskite solar cells to control the morphology of the perovskite film.

Piecework at the nano assembly line

Researchers have developed a novel electric propulsion technology for nanorobots. It allows molecular machines to move a hundred thousand times faster than with the biochemical processes used to date.
