Researchers have shown that the crystal lattice of calcium carbonate can be altered using just a single protein species.
Optogenetics without the genetics
Gold nanoparticles enable precise stimulation of normal, non-genetically modified neurons with light.
Engineers solve the mystery of the dancing droplets (w/video)
Years of research satisfy a graduate student's curiosity about the molecular minuet he observed among drops of ordinary food coloring.
Ghent University leads large-scale European training project on quantum dots
Phonsi is a consortium combining research institutes, IBM and a startup (Single Quantum) with world leading expertise in synthesis, characterization and integration of these nanocrystals.
Chameleon-like artificial 'skin' shifts color on demand
Borrowing a trick from nature, engineers have created an incredibly thin, chameleon-like material that can be made to change color - on demand - by simply applying a minute amount of force.
