At attention, molecules!

Chemists report molecules in ionic liquids arrange themselves, but it takes time.

Extracting precisely flawed nanodiamonds from crude

Precisely flawed nanodiamonds could produce next-generation tools for imaging and communications.

How nanoparticles flow through the environment

Researchers have developed a new model to track the flow of the most important nanomaterials in the environment.

Quantum physics inside a drop of paint

Inside a drop of paint, light is scattered so often that it seems impossible to demonstrate quantum effects. But despite the thousands of possible paths the light can take, like a drunk person inside a labyrinth, researchers now show that there are just two exits.

Nanotechnology-enabled device detects blood clots with simple in-home test

Researchers are developing materials and technology for a simple in-home screening that could be a game changer for patients with several life-threatening conditions.

Ferrous chemistry in aqueous solution unravelled

Scientists have demonstrated how a detailed picture of the electronic states can be ascertained by systematically comparing all of the interactive electronic processes in a simple system of aqueous iron(II).

A different type of defect in 2D materials

Researchers show that 2D halide perovskite has a very different defect property compared with other popular 2D semiconductors.
