All-inorganic perovskite quantum dots help realize full-spectrum persistent luminescence tuning

In a new study, scientists report a novel strategy to fine-tuning the persistent luminescence by using all-inorganic perovskite quantum dots as efficient light conversion materials.

Above-room-temperature antiferroelectric based on two-dimensional hybrid perovskite

In a first, researchers constructed above-room-temperature antiferroelectric with high energy storage efficiency based on two-dimensional organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite.

Fast and selective optical heating for functional nanomagnetic metamaterials

Scientists demonstrate the use of hybrid magnetic-plasmonic elements to facilitate contactless and selective temperature control in magnetic functional metamaterials.

Getting a smart tattoo without using any needle

A micro-jet injection technology that doesn't use needles at all creates an ultrafast liquid jet with the thickness of a human hair that penetrates the skin.

New discovery makes fast-charging, better performing lithium-ion batteries possible

Nanomaterials could boost battery performance in consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and more.

At the limits of detectability

New approach facilitates spectroscopy on individual molecules.

New method to create ultrafast 3D images of nanostructures

Scientists have developed a method in which two images of an object can be taken from two different directions using a single laser pulse. The images are then combined to form a spatial image - similar to the human brain forming a stereo image from two slightly different images of both eyes.

Light-driven artificial muscle made with nanomaterials

Researchers have developed a plasmonic-assisted holistic artificial muscle that can independently act as a fully functional motor system without assembling or joints.
