Rational transparent conductor design provides a boost to carbon nanotubes application

Researchers have rationally designed a novel p-type flexible transparent conductor using single-walled carbon nanotubes. This opens new avenues for its applications in next generation opto-electronics and energy technologies.

Graphene: The more you bend it, the softer it gets

New research by combines atomic-scale experimentation with computer modeling to determine how much energy it takes to bend multilayer graphene - a question that has eluded scientists since graphene was first isolated.

Researchers develop thin heat shield for superfast aircraft

Researchers are developing a design for a heat shield that better protects those extremely fast machines.

Theoretical tubulanes inspire ultrahard polymers

A lightweight material full of holes is nearly as hard as diamond. The mere dents left by speeding bullets prove it.

ELeCt-ing a better candidate for chemo delivery

Drug-loaded nanoparticles bound to circulating red blood cells inhibit lung cancer metastasis.

Researchers develop new 3D printing for the direct production of nanostructures

Researchers succeeded in using the FEBID method to produce complex 3D-printed nano-components for the first time without additional support structures.
