These results open up a new pathway to scale silicon quantum computers. • Email to a friend • A team of researchers has developed a high-precision technology to carve tiny patterns into atomically thin particles for potential applications in manufacturing electronic and photonic nanodevices. • Email to a friend • Some molecules exist in two different configurations, one being the mirror image of the other, with right and left side reversed. Normally, it is extremely difficult to produce only one of these two variants. Specially treated gold clusters are now supposed to help. • Email to a friend • A new finding about the fundamental chemistry of two-dimensional materials called MXenes will change the way researchers work with them, and open up new areas of applications. • Email to a friend • Researchers have developed a new battery material that could enable long-range electric vehicles that can drive for hundreds of miles on a single charge, and electric planes called eVTOLs for fast, environmentally friendly commutes. • Email to a friend • Coral-type, high-efficiency, silver nano catalyst electrode developed for large areas; basis established for the commercialization of an electrochemical carbon dioxide conversion system that uses carbon dioxide in a gaseous state. • Email to a friend • Magnetic nanodiscs can be activated by an external magnetic field, providing a research tool for studying neural responses. • Email to a friend • Faster and simpler production of high-resolution, three-dimensional electron microscopy images of biomolecules . • Email to a friend • The proposed heavy metal sensor is based on graphene oxide functionalized micro-tapered long-period fiber grating where light-matter interaction is enhanced. • Email to a friend • This new material, which could be used in the security and health and safety industries, can turn back the force of a cutting tool upon itself. • Email to a friend • For the first time, a single, twisted nanoparticle has been accurately measured and characterised in a lab, taking scientists one vital step closer to a time when medicines will be produced and blended on a microscopic scale. • Email to a friend • This substance, still in the laboratory phase, offers a number of advantages over those currently used: it reduces the adverse effects on the body, uses lower doses than usual, allows the compound to be targeted only at the affected area that needs to be visualized, and is very versatile, since the same substance can be used for different diagnostic tests. • Email to a friend • The discovery will help clinicians target breast cancer cells directly, while avoiding the adverse, toxic side effects of chemotherapy. • Email to a friend • |
