Detailed molecular structure of silver nanocrystals determined

Scientists haver performed characterisation of two large, complex silver nanoclusters of 136 and 374 atoms.

Conformal liquid-metal electrodes for flexible graphene device interconnects

Researchers have devised a new way to electrically contact graphene with liquid metals rather than typical rigid electrodes such as gold and silver.

Sharpshooting nanoparticles hit the target

Multi stimuli-responsive nanocapsules selectively deliver drugs to exactly where they are needed.

Smart material can hunt and snap cancer

The pursuit of microscopic drugs that can be tracked as they fight cancer is a step closer.

Applying heat to stay on track

A clever electro-thermal actuator and lever system keeps hard drive recording heads on track.

New work explores thermoelectric screen printing

What if you could easily print a thin layer of material - for use anywhere - that would allow you to create flexible energy harvesters or coolers? That may soon be a reality.

Making catalysts smarter

Scientists demonstrate optimization and visualization of a catalyst used to convert carbon dioxide waste to methane gas and chemical intermediates.
