Detoxifying exhaust gas from device production processes

A newly developed abatement system can be simply applied to exhaust gases containing flammable gases requiring nitrogen gas dilution other than silane gas by optimizing the processing conditions, without changing the device structure.

Transforming circles into squares

Researchers reconfigure material topology on the microscale.

3D-printed graphene aerogels for water treatment

Engineers report a new process of 3D printing graphene aerogels that they say overcomes two key hurdles - scalability and creating a version of the material that’s stable enough for repeated use - for water treatment.

Superbug killer: New nanotechnology destroys bacteria and fungal cells

Researchers have developed a new superbug-destroying coating that could be used on wound dressings and implants to prevent and treat potentially deadly bacterial and fungal infections. The material is one of the thinnest antimicrobial coatings developed to date and is effective against a broad range of drug-resistant bacteria and fungal cells, while leaving human cells unharmed.

New nanosensor holds promise for diagnosing, treating neurological disease

Scientists have developed a new type of nanosensor that allows scientists to image communication between the brain and the body in real time.

New sensor tracks 'stress hormone' in real time

Researchers have developed a fluorescence-based sensor prototype for continuous detection of cortisol concentrations in real time, which can help monitor various health conditions.

Combining nanomaterials in 3D to build next-generation imaging devices

Researchers are integrating different nanoscale materials together in 3D to create an entirely new generation of devices for environmental monitoring, energy harvesting and biomedical applications.
