Researchers develop Si-based super-high frequency nanoelectromechanical resonator

Silicon single-electron/hole transistors (SETs/SHTs) and super-high frequency nanoelectromechanical resonators show great potentials in quantum computation, sensing and many other areas.

Novel type of nanoparticle efficiently and selectively kills cancer cells

Researchers report the development of a class of novel amorphous nanoparticles made up of calcium and citrate, which are capable of breaching the barriers to uptake, and killing tumor cells in a targeted fashion.

Novel computer modeling techniques to predict the properties of 2D materials

Cutting-edge computer modeling techniques to predict the properties of 2D materials that haven't yet been made in real life.

Weak force has strong impact on nanosheets

Scientists found that nature's ubiquitous 'weak' force is sufficient to indent rigid nanosheets, extending their potential for use in nanoscale optics or catalytic systems.

New fullerene crystal production method 50 times faster than predecessor

Researchers have developed a highly efficient technique for producing a unique fullerene crystal, called fullerene finned-micropillar (FFMP), that is of significant use for next-generation electronics.

Earable computing: A new research area in the making

Researchers believe that earphones will be the next significant milestone in wearable devices, and that new hardware, software, and apps will all run on this platform.

Three-dimensional view of catalysts in action

A new diagnostic tool, operando X-ray spectroscopy, visualizes the structure and gradients of complex technical catalysts in three dimensions, thus allowing us to look into functioning chemical reactors.
