Nanostructured cathod leads to breakthrough in magnesium batteries

Nanostructured cathode, understanding of new electrolyte lead to greater efficiency.

Carbon nanotubes worth their salt

Researchers have developed carbon nanotube pores that can exclude salt from seawater. The team also found that water permeability in carbon nanotubes with diameters smaller than a nanometer exceeds that of wider carbon nanotubes by an order of magnitude.

Research to accelerate development of high-efficiency graphene-based membranes

Findings reveal valuable insights that could help scientists fine-tune optimized membranes for sustainable desalination.

Experiments confirm theory of 'superballistic' electron flow

Behaving like particles in a viscous fluid can help bunches of electrons squeeze through a tight space.

Researchers advance tumor-imaging nanosystem for enhanced diagnostic imaging

The novel approach generates bright tumor signals by delivering quantum dots to cancer cells without any toxic effects.

Major leap towards data storage at the molecular level

Scientists have proved that storing data with a class of molecules known as single-molecule magnets is more feasible than previously thought.

A faster, more accurate test for liver cancer

Researchers develop faster, more accurate test for liver cancer that can be administered anywhere.
