World's fastest camera freezes time at 10 trillion frames per second

T-CUP makes it possible to see phenomena -- and even light! -- in extremely slow motion.

Researchers quickly harvest 2-D materials, bringing them closer to commercialization

Efficient method for making single-atom-thick, wafer-scale materials opens up opportunities in flexible electronics.

Light switch: Scientists develop method to control nanoscale manipulation in scanning tunneling microscopes

Scientists have taken a step toward faster and more advanced electronics by developing a way to better measure and manipulate conductive materials through scanning tunneling microscopy.

Scientists succeed in controlling the wettability of a nanofiber

Researchers succeeded to switch wettability of a nanofiber obtained out of polymers with piezoelectric properties. The time of response to an external trigger was shortened to a few seconds instead of a few minutes at existing methods.

Graphene shows unique potential to exceed bandwidth demands of future telecommunications

A new review paper concludes that graphene offers a unique evolutionary pathway for next-generation communications.

Self-healing material can build itself from carbon in the air

Taking a page from green plants, new polymer 'grows' through a chemical reaction with carbon dioxide.

Hidden gapless states on the path to semiconductor nanocrystals

When chemists were starting work on yet another material designed for the efficient production of nanocrystalline zinc oxide, they didn't expect any surprises. They were greatly astonished when the electrical properties of the changing material turned out to be extremely exotic.
