Use of perovskite nanomaterials will be a key feature of the next generation of electronic appliances

Nanomaterials of perovskite dispersed in hexane and irradiated by laser; light emission by these materials is intense thanks to resistance to surface defects.

New perovskite LED emits a circularly polarized glow

LEDs led to the high-definition viewing experience we've come to expect from our screens. A new type of LED that utilizes spintronics could take displays to the next level.

Nanosensor bandage detects, could prevent infections

By embedding nanosensors in the fibers of a bandage, researchers have created a continuous, noninvasive way to detect and monitor an infection in a wound.

Scientists build the smallest cable containing a spin switch

Researchers report the first encapsulation of spin-crossover molecules inside carbon nanotubes. This is a fundamental research result that helps to understand the behaviour of magnetic molecules confined in very small spaces.

Nanomaterials may ease wear and tear on extraterrestrial vehicles

As NASA's Mars Perseverance Rover continues to explore the surface of Mars, scientists on Earth have developed a new nanoscale metal carbide that could act as a superlubricant to reduce wear and tear on future rovers.

Peering into bacteria with X-ray nanovision

Scientists use X-ray-sensitive tags to see protein molecules in cells, opening new doors for studies in health, medicine, and bioscience.

Controlled by light alone, new smart materials twist, bend and move (w/video)

Technology paves way for intelligent solar cells, other highly efficient devices programmed at the macro- and nanoscale.

Shutting the nano-gate

Researchers create voltage-controlled nanopores that can trap particles as they try to pass through, which may lead to single-molecule sensors, along with cheaper and faster genomic sequencing.
