A quantum low pass for photons

Physicists observe novel quantum effect that limits the number of emitted photons.

Low haze structures for transparent flexible electrodes by electrospinning processes

Electrospinning is a technique that produces ultra-fine fibers that are up to 100 times thinner than a human hair. These fibers are collected on glass or on foils in an unstructured, wide mesh net. When conductive materials are spun, flexible conductive transparent electrodes could be produced.

Nanotubes that build themselves

Researchers have succeeded in producing nanotubes from a single building block using so-called molecular self-recognition. The tube can also change shape depending on the surrounding environment.

Shedding light on the absorption of light by titanium dioxide

Scientists have shed light onto the problem by a combination of cutting-edge steady-state and ultrafast spectroscopic techniques, as well as theoretical calculations.

Newly funded nanoparticle research project targets abdominal aortic aneurysms

A 1.47 million grant to advance research into abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Next-generation nanoparticle nasal spray for drug delivery to the brain

Scientists have developed a new nanoparticle generation-delivery method that could someday vastly improve drug delivery to the brain, making it as simple as a sniff.

Graphene 'phototransistor' promising for optical technologies (w/video)

Researchers have solved a problem hindering development of highly sensitive optical devices made of a material called graphene, an advance that could bring applications from imaging and displays to sensors and high-speed communications.
