An experiment that, by design, was not supposed to turn up anything of note instead produced a "bewildering" surprise, according to the Stanford scientists who made the discovery: a new way of creating gold nanoparticles ...
All electronic devices consist of billions of transistors, the key building block invented in Bell Labs in the late 1940s. Early transistors were as large as one centimeter, but now measure about 14 nanometers. There has ...
Perfection is not everything, according to an international team of researchers whose 2-D materials study shows that defects can enhance a material's physical, electrochemical, magnetic, energy and catalytic properties.
A dash of salt can simplify the creation of two-dimensional materials, and thanks to Rice University scientists, the reason is becoming clear.
A new blood test using gold nanoparticles could soon give oncologists an early and more accurate prognosis of how cancer treatment is progressing and help guide the on-going therapy of patients.
Van der Waals heterostructures are assemblies of atomically thin two-dimensional (2-D) crystalline materials that display attractive conduction properties for use in advanced electronic devices.
A group of scientists, including specialists from Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics (ITF), has described a universal characteristic in which many unique graphene properties are "hidden." Abnormal graphene behavior ...
For the first time, scientists have successfully created optically active, chiral gold nanoparticles using amino acids and peptides. Many chemicals significant to life have mirror-image twins (left-handed and right-handed ...
MIT engineers have developed a continuous manufacturing process that produces long strips of high-quality graphene.
Grow Monsters. Expandable water toys. Whatever you call them, they're plastic-like figurines that swell when placed in water.
