Self-healing, flexible electronic material restores functions after many breaks

A new electronic material created by an international team can heal all its functions automatically even after breaking multiple times. This material could improve the durability of wearable electronics.

New approach to sorting cells

Microfluidic device distinguishes cells based on how they respond to acoustic vibrations.

Unveiling the electron's motion in a carbon nanocoil

Development of a precise resistivity measurement system for quasi-one-dimensional nanomaterials using a focused ion beam.

Artificial intelligence replaces physicists

Physicists are putting themselves out of a job, using artificial intelligence to run a complex experiment.

Ultrathin organic material enhances e-skin display

Researchers have developed an ultrathin, ultraflexible, protective layer and demonstrated its use by creating an air-stable, organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display.

Nanotechnology makes holograms highly efficient, secure

Researchers have programmed polarization into compact holograms. These holograms use nanostructures that are sensitive to polarization (the direction in which light vibrates) to produce different images depending on the polarization of incident light.

Researchers unleash graphene 'tiger' for more efficient optoelectronics

Scientists describe one promising approach to coax photons into stimulating multiple electrons. Their method exploits some surprising quantum-level interactions to give one photon multiple potential electron partners.
