New technique could lead to new microprocessors that defy Moore's Law.
Researchers have designed peptide nanoparticles that can each glow in a variety of colors, opening the door for many new biomedical applications.
Scientists have succeeded in producing the first graphene ribbons whose crystal lattice contains both periodic pores and a regular pattern of nitrogen atoms. The structure of this new material resembles a ladder, with each rung containing two atoms of nitrogen.
Researchers have developed a wood-based steam generator that, with the help of bacterial-produced nanomaterials, harnesses solar energy to purify water.
For many applications in electronics and energy technology, graphene must be combined with other materials: Since graphene is so thin, its properties drastically change when other materials are brought into direct contact with it.
Researchers enhance the accuracy of X-ray free-electron laser measurements closer to the diameter of typical atoms than previously possible.
