Imprinted structural color patterns

Azopolymer material allows light-assisted imprinting of nanostructures for structurally colored surfaces.

Reinventing the computer: Brain-inspired computing for a post-Moore's Law era

As Moore's Law comes to an end with a limit to the number of transistors that fit on a chip, a paradigm of brain-inspired neuromorphic computing paves the way forward with new directions in computing hardware, algorithms, architectures and materials.

Nanoengineering technique could aid exploration, scalability of next-gen electronics

Researchers have shown that sulfur can spice up a nanomaterial sandwich by putting a literal twist on the multi-layered classic.

The mysterious movement of water molecules

Thanks to a new experimental method, researchers have now delivered insights into the atomic-level movement of water molecules.

Sniffing out cancer is as easy as breathing

Researchers have developed an accurate and non-invasive way to detect cancer through a person's breath. The hand-held sensor can be used by anyone without medical supervision in combination with their smart phone. Tests reveal the accuracy of the sensor is about 93%.
