Scientists use excitons to take electronics into the future

Scientists have developed a transistor based on excitons that is able to function at room temperature. This breakthrough could lead to a new breed of faster, more energy efficient and smaller electronics.

A nanotechnology breath test for early-stage Parkinson's

Researchers have developed a device with an array of 40 sensors based on gold nanoparticles or single-walled carbon nanotubes.

DOE grant to study single nanoparticles and their ability to act as electrocatalysts

The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Basic Energy Sciences has awarded researchers $1.1 million to study single nanoparticles and their ability to act as electrocatalysts.

What happens in a solar cell when the lights go out?

Researchers are now able to measure the processes taking place in a perovskite solar cell with great precision.

Vibrations at an exceptional point

Scientists have developed a lasing system already adept at producing tiny light packets called photons into a tunable system that also makes little bits of mechanical energy called phonons - the energy products of oscillation, or vibration.

Scientists unlock the properties of new 2D material

The research succeeded in the first experimental realisation and structural investigation of single-layer vanadium disulphide.
