Scientists investigate new materials for Li-ion batteries of miniature sensors

Researchers are developing new materials for solid-state thin-film Li-ion batteries for micro- and nanodevices.

Chemists develop nanoscale bioabsorbable wound dressing

Scientists are harnessing the combined power of organic nanomaterials-based chemistry and a natural product found in crustacean exoskeletons to help bring emergency medicine one step closer to a viable solution for mitigating blood loss.

Self-healing DNA nanostructures

Researchers have designed DNA nanostructures that can heal themselves in serum.

Pantry ingredients can help grow carbon nanotubes

Study finds baking soda, detergent, and table salt - all rich in sodium - are effective catalysts.

Taking the guesswork out of electrospinning

Researchers have built a database that correlates electrospinning machine parameters with nanofiber properties.

Researchers break quantum limit in precision of force and position measurements

Researchers have pushed the precision of force and position measurements into a new regime. Their experiment is the first to surpass the so-called 'Standard Quantum Limit', or SQL, which arises in the most common (and successful) optical techniques for ultra-precise position measurements.

Chemists build a better cancer-killing drill

An international team of scientists is getting closer to perfecting molecule-sized motors that drill through the surface of cancer cells, killing them in an instant.
