Water is one of the most precious resources on the planet. Freshwater is vital for humans, animals, and plants—but it can become contaminated from overflowing stormwater and surface water. We are already starting to feel ...
As fast as modern electronics have become, they could be much faster if their operations were based on light, rather than electricity. Fiber optic cables already transport information at the speed of light; to do computations ...
For the design of future materials, it is important to understand how the individual atoms inside a material interact with each other quantum mechanically. Previously inexplicable vibrational states between carbon chains ...
Researchers have developed the world's first near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent nanosensor capable of real-time, non-destructive and species-agnostic detection of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)—the primary bioactive auxin hormone ...
Carbyne, a one-dimensional chain of carbon atoms, is incredibly strong for being so thin, making it an intriguing possibility for use in next-generation electronics, but its extreme instability causing it to bend and snap ...
RIKEN chemists have hit upon a fast and easy way to combine so-called nanobelts of carbon with sulfur-containing functional groups. The work is published in the journal Nature Communications.
The Skoltech Laboratory of Nanomaterials, along with the Institute's Hierarchically Structured Materials Laboratory and Materials Center, have proposed a novel dual-stage monitoring technique for multifunctional polymer nanocomposites.
Over the past decades, electronics engineers developed increasingly small, flexible and sophisticated sensors that can pick up a wide range of signals, ranging from human motions to heartrate and other biological signals. ...
Can the shape of a crystal really change how well it performs in clean energy technology? A new study says yes—decisively.
The Earth's magnetic field quietly supports life on the planet and now, for the first time, its invisible powers have been used to create new nanoparticles and materials.
