Material manufacturing from particles takes a giant step forward

Researchers have shown another remarkable property of nanocelluloses: their strong binding properties to form new materials with any particle.

Chameleon materials: The origin of color variation in low-dimensional perovskites

Some light-emitting diodes (LEDs) created from perovskite, a class of optoelectronic materials, emit light over a broad wavelength range. Scientists have now shown that in some cases, the explanation of why this happens is incorrect.

Scientists create new recipe for single-atom transistors

Linking multiple copies of these devices may lay the foundation for quantum computing.

Researchers reveal switching mechanism of plasmonic pixels based on magnesium

Scientists have succeeded to observe switching processes at previously unattained nanometer resolution. It opens the door towards new and innovative ultra-high-resolution displays of the future.

Dendrimers finally have what it takes to break into the laser scene

Researchers have synthesized branched polymer crystals that are tough enough to be used as tiny laser sources.

Defective graphene has high electrocatalytic activity

Researchers have conducted a theoretical study of the effects of defects in graphene on electron transfer at the graphene-solution interface. Their calculations show that defects can increase the charge transfer rate by an order of magnitude.

New route to thin porous membranes

Scientists create flexible, ultrathin films of nanoparticles using a polymer 'corona' approach.
