Engineers create artificial graphene in a nanofabricated semiconductor structure

Researchers are the first to observe the electronic structure of graphene in an engineered semiconductor; finding could lead to progress in advanced optoelectronics and data processing .

Visualizing single molecules in whole cells with a new spin

A new imaging method could put super-resolution microscopy within reach of most biologists.

Scientists suggested a new technology for creating magnet micro-structures

Researchers synthesized thin crystal ferromagnetic films and developed a technology for their shaping. Processed films can be used in electronic and spintronic chips.

Perking up and crimping the 'bristles' of polyelectrolyte brushes

A new study reveals, in fine detail, things that make polyelectrolyte brushes collapse - and also recover. The research increases understanding of these chemical brushes that have many potential uses.

Faster, more accurate cancer detection using nanoparticles

Light-emitting nanoprobes can detect cancer early and track the spread of tiny tumors.

Scientists sug­gest ti­ta­ni­um nit­ri­de in­ste­ad of gold in op­to­e­lec­tro­nics

Scientists suggest replacing gold and silver, which are used in optoelectronic devices, with an inexpensive material of titanium nitride.
