Using their expertise in silicon optics, Cornell engineers have miniaturized a light source in the elusive mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectrum, effectively squeezing the capabilities of a large, tabletop laser onto a 1-millimeter silicon chip.

Bioactive nanoengineered hydrogels for bone tissue engineering
Researchers have developed an injectable osteoinductive collagen-based nanosilicate matrix for growth-factor-free bone tissue engineering.
Optical features embedded in marine shells may help develop responsive, transparent displays (w/video)
New findings represent the first evidence of an organism using mineralized structural components to produce optical displays. While birds, butterflies, and beetles can display brilliant blues, among other colors, they do so with organic structures, such as feathers, scales, and plates. The limpet, by contrast, produces its blue stripes through an interplay of inorganic, mineral structures, arranged in such a way as to reflect only blue light.
Young Nanoscientist India Award 2015 announces winner
The Nanotechnology Forum for Indian Scientists (NT Forum) announces that Dr Arindam Ghosh from IISC, Bangalore is the first winner of the 'Oxford Instruments Young Nanoscientist Award 2015'.
2D-NANOLATTICES nanoelectronics project makes important step with silicene
A European research project has made an important step towards the further miniaturisation of nanoelectronics, using a highly-promising new material called silicene. Its goal: to make devices of the future vastly more powerful and energy efficient.
