Physicist obtain atomically thin molybdenum disulfide films on large-area substrates

Researchers have managed to grow atomically thin films of molybdenum disulfide spanning up to several tens of square centimeters. It was demonstrated that the material's structure can be modified by varying the synthesis temperature.

Integrate micro chips for electronic skin

Researchers present the first fully integrated flexible electronics made of magnetic sensors and organic circuits which opens the path towards the development of electronic skin.

Coating helps electronics stay cool by sweating

Researchers present a MOF coating for electronics that releases water vapor to dissipate heat from running devices - a new thermal management method that could prevent electronics from overheating and keep them cooler compared to existing strategies.

Physicists trap light in nanoresonators for record time

The reference particle captured light for a time exceeding 200 periods of one wave oscillation, 20-40 times longer than usual; this opens new perspectives in such areas as manufacturing compact sensors, night vision devices, and optical data transmission.

The quest for perfect quantum dot biomarkers

Tiny nanoparticles can illuminate tissues and cells, but safer, more effective materials are needed before their mainstream application.
