Lighting up cardiovascular problems using nanoparticles

New nanotechnology will allow detection of blocked arteries more effectively than ever before.

Converting graphene into diamond film without high pressure

Researchers demonstrated synthesis of the thinnest possible diamond-like material starting from bilayer graphene and without high pressure.

Creating switchable plasmons in plastics

Researchers have developed optical nanoantennas made from a conducting polymer. The antennas can be switched on and off, and will make possible a completely new type of controllable nano-optical components.

Electrons caught flowing like water for the first time

The findings could help reduce resistance in electronic devices.

Detours may make batteries better

Scientists show point defects in cathode crystals may speed lithium absorption.

Ultrafast stimulated emission microscopy of single nanocrystals

Researchers report on a new ultrafast stimulated emission microscopy technique that allows imaging of nano-objects and investigating their dynamics.

Speedy and precise multicolor imaging of biomolecules now possible

For the first time, researchers can track biological molecules with unprecedented speed and precision thanks to the use of multi-metallic nanoparticles.
