Giving the hydrogen economy an acid test

Scientists show that using a layer of graphene just one atom thick improves the catalytic activity of nickel or copper when generating hydrogen gas, which may lead to cheaper fuel for zero-emission automobiles.

Biodegradable inorganic upconversion nanocrystals for in vivo applications

Researchers report a new class of red-emitting biodegradable upconversion nanocrystals.

Moire metrology - a new tool to map the interaction between atomically thin layers

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking method to map the interaction between atomically thin layers of a material.

New way to control electrical charge in 2D materials: Put a flake on it

Physicists have discovered how to locally add electrical charge to an atomically thin graphene device by layering flakes of another thin material on top of it.

Scientists tame photon-magnon interaction

Researchers have achieved a scientific control that is a first of its kind. They demonstrated a novel approach that allows real-time control of the interactions between microwave photons and magnons, potentially leading to advances in electronic devices and quantum signal processing.
