A new technique for making exciting metal oxide frameworks

Researchers have developed new materials that can absorb and release small molecules, and it can be controlled by shining light on it.

Nanodiamonds as platform for therapy and diagnosis of brain diseases

Scientists have investigated the suitability of a system based on nanodiamonds as diagnostic and therapeutic method for brain diseases.

Simple synthesis of seeds for standardised carbon nanotubes

Researchers have developed a method for assembling these complex molecules from a small number of segments.

Topological superconductivity studied in thin films

A composite material reveals the relationship between superconductivity and exotic electronic states that could be useful in quantum computers.

Nanostructured material with potential for use in catalyzers

Researchers developed a titanium oxide nanofiber sheet through electrospinning and atomic layer deposition.

Researchers demonstrate first all-metamaterial optical gas sensor

Researchers developed the first fully-integrated, non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) gas sensor enabled by specially engineered synthetic materials known as metamaterials. The sensor has no moving parts, requires little energy to operate and is among the smallest NDIR sensors ever created.
