A recent study has unveiled 2D material-based ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensor by synthesizing uniform large-area 2D films.
Materials that simultaneously have contrasting properties - for example, they are soft on the one hand and hard on the other, the transition is gradual - could enable completely new applications like gradual anti-reflective lenses.
Researchers have unlocked new possibilities for the future development of sustainable, clean bioenergy. They show how bacterial protein 'cages' can be reprogrammed as nanoscale bioreactors for hydrogen production.
Are you affected by your neighbours? So are nanoparticles in catalysts. New research reveals how the nearest neighbours determine how well nanoparticles work in a catalyst.
