A filter made from polymer nanothreads blew three kinds of commercial masks out of the water by capturing 99.9% of coronavirus aerosols in an experiment.
Physicists have used a complex oxide to create elements comparable to the neurons and synapses in the brain using spins, a magnetic property of electrons.
Scientists have identified a new type of defect as the most common source of disorder in on-surface synthesized graphene nanoribbons (GNRs). The researchers identified the atomic structure of these 'bite' defects and investigated their effect on quantum electronic transport in two different types of GNR.
Researchers have developed an innovative tactile sensor with super fast response time and high sensitivity. It can distinguish different external stimuli in real time.
Researchers have developed a membrane that is composed of a bundle of nanometer-sized tubes. They used it as a nanoreactor to convert water marked with methylene blue into clear water in milliseconds using sunlight as a driver.
Scientists have tapped into a poltergeist-like property of electrons to design devices that can capture excess heat from their environment--and turn it into usable electricity.
