Atomic 'patchwork' using heteroepitaxy for next generation semiconductor devices

Continuous process for engineering 2D transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) heterostructures.

Medicines made of solid gold

By testing a variety of gold nanoparticles, researchers are providing first evidence of their impact upon human B lymphocytes - the immune cells responsible for antibody production.

New material shows high potential for quantum computing

Researchers are getting closer to confirming the existence of an exotic quantum particle called Majorana fermion, crucial for fault-tolerant quantum computing - the kind of quantum computing that addresses errors during its operation.

Confirmation of old theory leads to new breakthrough in superconductor science

Scientists at Harvard have developed a superconductor that is only one nanometer thick. By studying fluctuations in this ultra-thin material as it transitions into superconductivity, the scientists gained insight into the processes that drive superconductivity.

Artificial DNA can control release of active ingredients from drugs

With a combination of hydrogels and artificial DNA, nanoparticles can be released in sequence under conditions similar to those in the human body.

Advanced method for analyzing graphene oxide

Researchers have developed a reliable method for analyzing the reduction of graphene oxide microregions. In contrast to earlier proposed methods based on Raman spectroscopy, this advanced method provides more exact data about unique properties of certain areas of the material of only a few micrometers in size.
