Research team demonstrates control mechanism for graphene

So far, there has been a lack of knowledge about how to suitably control certain properties of graphene. A new study is changing that.

Energy transmission by gold nanoparticles coupled to DNA structures

Using DNA structures as scaffolds, scientists have shown that precisely positioned gold nanoparticles can serve as efficient energy transmitters.

Unlocking richer intracellular recordings with 3D fuzzy graphene

A group of researchers has identified a flexible, low-cost, and biocompatible platform for enabling richer intracellular recordings.

From total lack of knowledge about nanodots to total control of their properties

The new e-DOTS project seeks to synthesize luminescent carbon nanodots with useful properties for bioimaging, diagnosis and catalysis.

Shining up carbon nanodots: A new synthesis pathway for enhanced fluorescence

Scientists develop novel strategy to produce near-oxygenless carbon nanodots, helping shed light on the role of oxygen in their optical properties.

Carbon nanodots from human hair boost solar cells

Researchers have used carbon dots, created from human hair waste sourced from a barbershop, to create a kind of 'armour' to improve the performance of cutting-edge solar technology.
