Stretchable supercapacitors to power tomorrow's wearable devices

Researchers demonstrate robust supercapacitors that still work when stretched to 8 times their original size.

Graphene underpins a new platform to selectively ID deadly strains of bacteria

Prototype demonstrates the first selective, electrical detection of two pathogenic bacterial species.

Researchers control the size of molecular superstructures on surfaces

To better understand the growth of macroscopic structures from molecules, a research team of physicists and chemists has mimicked such processes with custom-made molecules.

A nanoscale laser made of gold and zinc oxide

Nanoparticles composed of metals and semiconductors could serve as light sources in components of future optical computers, as they are able to precisely localize and amplify incident laser light.

Nanoimaging the intracellular space to aid drug development

Iridium-based metallodrugs are emerging as novel tools to destroy cancer cells by disrupting their intracellular redox balance. Scientists now have imaged the anticancer agent at work in the cryopreserved intracellular nano-space.

Dancing electrons solve a longstanding puzzle in the oldest magnetic material

Physicists use extreme infrared laser pulses to reveal frozen electron waves in magnetite.
