Scalable 100% yield production of conductive graphene inks

The novel method uses ultrahigh shear forces in a microfluidisation process to exfoliate graphene flakes from graphite. The process converts 100% of the starting graphite material into usable flakes for conductive inks, avoiding the need for centrifugation and reducing the time taken to produce a usable ink.

Nominations invited for $250,000 Kabiller Prize in Nanoscience

Major international prize recognizes a visionary nanotechnology researcher.

Quantum matter - shaken, but not stirred

Researchers experimentally realized an exotic quantum system which is robust to mixing by periodic forces.

Finding the balance between keeping molecules whole or splitting them on oxides

Scientists end long-standing controversy about a ubiquitous reaction involved in catalysts, corrosion, and more.

Dream of energy-collecting windows Is one step closer to reality

Researchers developed technology to embed the silicon nanoparticles into what they call efficient luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs). These LSCs are the key element of windows that can efficiently collect solar energy.

Switched-on DNA sparks nanoelectronics applications

DNA, the stuff of life, may very well also pack quite the jolt for engineers trying to advance the development of tiny, low-cost electronic devices.

Looking for the next leap in rechargeable batteries

Researchers have created a new battery membrane that brings the cycle life of next-generation lithium-sulfur batteries in line with their lithium-ion counterparts.
