A new way to atomically thin materials

Silicon secedes: titanium carbide flakes obtained by selective etching of titanium silicon carbide.

Nanotechnology research team advances to final round of the Carbon XPRIZE

The C2CNT project aims to convert carbon dioxide to carbon nanotubes on a massive scale to impact climate change.

Solid research leads physicists to propose new state of matter

The term 'superfluid quasicrystal' sounds like something a comic-book villain might use to carry out his dastardly plans. In reality, it is a new form of matter proposed by theoretical physicists.

Iridescent photonic cellulose, mimicking the structural color of insects, with optical applications

A new study describes, for the first time, the technique to provide structural coloration on a cellulose derivative through its nanostructuration.

Ultra-powerful batteries made safer, more efficient

Team aims to curb formation of harmful crystal-like masses in lithium metal batteries.

Tiny nanomachine successfully completes test drive

Scientists have used nanostructures to construct a tiny machine that constitutes a rotatory motor and can move in a specific direction. The researchers used circular structures from DNA.

Printed thermo-plasmonic heat patterns for neurological disorder treatment

Researchers have presented a highly customizable neural stimulation method. They developed a technology that can print the heat pattern on a micron scale to enable the control of biological activities remotely.
