Scientists synthesize highly conductive 2D conducting polymer

An international research team has synthesized a multilayered two-dimensional polyaniline (2DPANI) crystal, achieving unique metallic out-of-plane charge transport and high conductivity. This study was published in Nature.

A delicate nanoflower that is downright deadly to bacteria

A carnation-like nanostructure could someday be used in bandages to promote wound healing. Researchers report in ACS Applied Bio Materials that laboratory tests of their nanoflower-coated dressings demonstrate antibiotic, ...

Creating nanoislands enhances platinum catalyst efficiency

Noble metals such as platinum can make useful catalysts to accelerate chemical reactions, particularly hydrogenation (adding hydrogen atoms to a molecule). A research team led by Professor Bruce Gates at the UC Davis Department ...
