Walking with atoms - chemical bond making and breaking recorded in action

Scientists have for the first time captured and filmed atoms bonding together, using advanced microscopy methods they captured a moment that is around half a million times smaller than the width of a human hair.

Taming ultrafast electrons with light

Physicists have exploited light to control the motion of electrons in a metallic nanocircuit. This could have major implications for the future of data processing and computing.

Charge model for calculating the photoexcited states of one-dimensional Mott insulators

Clarification of photoinduced phenomena through the theoretical analysis of optical spectra.

Programmable nests for cells

Researchers developed novel composites of DNA, silica particles, and carbon nanotubes - properties can be tailored to various applications.

3D printing with applications in the pharmaceutical industry

Researchers have, for the first time, succeeded in printing a 3D image with stabilised gold nanoparticles with biodegradable and biocompatible polymer systems.

A wearable gas sensor for health and environmental monitoring

A highly sensitive wearable gas sensor for environmental and human health monitoring may soon become commercially available.

Miniature double glazing: Material developed which is heat-insulating and heat-conducting at the same time

Researchers developed and characterized a novel, extremely thin and transparent material that has different thermal conduction properties depending on the direction. While it can conduct heat extremely well in one direction, it shows good thermal insulation in the other direction.
