A metalens for virtual and augmented reality

Researchers have developed a two-millimeter achromatic metalenses that can focus RGB (red, blue, green) colors without aberrations and developed a miniaturized display for virtual and augmented reality applications.

New technology could upend DNA sequencing for diagnosing certain DNA mutations

An innovative breakthrough promises to diagnose DNA rearrangement mutations at a fraction of the cost with improved accuracy.

A little soap simplifies making 2D nanoflakes

Chemists have found a way to get the maximum amount of quality 2D hBN nanosheets from its natural bulk form by processing it with surfactant (aka soap) and water. The surfactant surrounds and stabilizes the microscopic flakes, preserving their properties.
