Stickier than expected: Hydrogen binds to graphene in 10 femtoseconds

By sticking hydrogen atoms to graphene a bandgap can be formed. Now researcher have produced an 'atomic scale movie' showing how hydrogen atoms chemically bind to graphene in one of the fastest reactions ever studied.

Researchers take a bottom-up approach to synthesizing nanodiamonds for bioimaging, quantum computing

Researchers used extremely high pressure and temperature to dope nanodiamonds. They used this approach to dope nanodiamonds with silicon, causing the diamonds to glow a deep red - a property that would make them useful for cell and tissue imaging.

Novel thermoelectric nanoantenna design for use in solar energy harvesting

Researchers demonstrate ability to generate three times more thermoelectric voltage and 1.3 times more efficiently than classic dipole nanoantennas with newly fabricated bimetalic nanoantenna.

Simpler and smaller: A new synthetic nanofactory inspired by nature

Bacteria across our planet contain nanometer-sized factories that do many different things.

Sweating the small stuff

Novel biosensors are enriching the field of personalized and precision medicine with an abundant source of chemical data: sweat.

Monitoring the lifecycle of tiny catalyst nanoparticles

Scientists have developed a novel method in order to observe single nanoparticles before, during and after an electrochemical reaction.
