Nanoelectronics stickers to streamline large-scale Internet-of-Things

Researchers have developed a new fabrication method that makes tiny, thin-film electronic circuits peelable from a surface. The technique not only eliminates several manufacturing steps and the associated costs, but also allows any object to sense its environment or be controlled through the application of a high-tech sticker.

Chemical engineers pack more energy in same space for reliable battery

Electric car batteries souped-up with fluorinated electrolytes for longer-range driving.

Faster photons could enable total data security

Researchers have solved a key puzzle in quantum physics that could help to make data transfer totally secure.

Single-celled architects inspire new nanotechnology

Scientists have designed a range of nanostructures resembling marine diatoms. Using a technique known as DNA origami, the group designed nanoscale platforms of various shapes to which particles of silica, drawn by electrical charge, could stick.
