Call for Abstracts for the 2018 NanoScientific Symposium on Scanning Probe Microscopy

The first NanoScientific Symposium on Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) will be held at the Park Nanoscience Center at SUNY Polytechnic Institute in Albany NY in September 2018.

Lithium-related discovery could extend battery life and improve safety

New solution for mitigating dendrite growth shows promise for all batteries.

A treasure trove for nanotechnology experts

A research team has identified more than 1,000 materials with a particularly interesting 2D structure. Their research paves the way for groundbreaking technological applications.

Researchers reshape the energy landscape of phonons in nanocrystals

Light and vibrations intertwine inside a nanoscale cavity.

Big steps toward controllable and selective fabrication of nanomaterials with prescribed structures

Researchers have developed the diagnostic tools that are being used to advance an improved and integrated understanding of plasma-based synthesis - a widely used but poorly understood tool for creating nanostructures.

Precise layer growth in a superlattice controls electron coupling and magnetism

In this research, single 2-D layers of strontium iridium oxide were sandwiched between either one, two, or three layers of strontium titanium oxide to form three distinct superlattices. Researchers then used x-ray scattering to probe the magnetic structure of each superlattice.
