The results have important implications for today's TV and display screens and for future technologies where light takes the place of electrons and fluids.
Scientists combined several electron microscopy techniques to map out the phonon-polariton excitations across the surface of magnesium oxide nanostructures with high spatial, spectral, and angular resolution. The reconstruction of the surface excitation maps in three dimensions will be useful for understanding and optimizing the properties of the nanostructured materials for advanced functionality.
An atomically defined interlayer embedded into a quantum dot emits single photons at room temperature and allows tuning a wavelength in discrete quantized jumps.
Power converters play an essential role in electric vehicles and solar panels, for example, but tend to lose a lot of power in the form of heat in the electricity conversion process. Thanks to a new type of transistor, these converters can perform at substantially improved efficiencies, especially in high-power applications.
The PHOENIX project will provide a new infrastructure available to research laboratories, SMEs and start-ups to facilitate the transfer of nano-pharmaceuticals from the laboratory to clinical practice.
The technique uses nickel-platinum nanoparticles to increase the sensitivity of an ELISA, which is used to test for the presence of cancers, HIV and more.
Researchers have discovered a one-dimensional charge transfer salt with an infinite anion chain. This one-dimensional substance exhibits unique physical phenomena and functionality.
Researchers have developed a new approach to creating popular thin films used for devices across a broad range of fields, including optics, acoustics and electronics.
Researchers have developed a new sensor with two layers of nanopores. In the conducted experiments, this sensor showed its efficiency as a sensor for one of the doping substances from chiral molecules.
Scientists have created a new way to monitor subtle drug interactions between bacteria and antibiotics. By using a common office inkjet printer, researchers developed a disposable living laser on chip by encapsulating living bacteria inside. Strong laser emissions generated from bacteria inside the droplet will be dramatically enhanced during drug interactions. This breakthrough could enable more sensitive and high-throughput testing using micro-nano laser technology in the near future.
