Researchers provide a review of printed flexible supercapacitators in terms of their ability to formulate functional inks, design printable electrodes, and integrate functions with other electronic devices.
Using an ultrafast transmission electron microscope, researchers have, for the first time, recorded the propagation of combined sound and light waves in atomically thin materials.
Researchers have discovered a rare 'pseudogap' phenomenon that helps explain how the superconducting transition temperature can be greatly boosted in a single monolayer of iron selenide, and how it might be applied to other superconducting materials.
Researchers have created a first-of-its-kind metalens - a metamaterial lens - that can be focused using voltage instead of mechanically moving its components.
Breakthrough in metamaterials: for the first time in the world, researchers developed an innovative nanotechnology that transforms a transparent calcite nanoparticle into a sparkling gold-like particle. In other words, they turned the transparent particle into a particle that is visible despite its very small dimensions.
What is already established for inorganic semiconductors stays a challenge for their organic counterparts: Tuning the energy gap by blending different semiconducting molecules to optimize device performance. Now, scientists have demonstrated how to reach this goal.
The identification of previously undocumented nanoscale metallic copper and iron deposits within human brain tissue, indicates that metallic elements, previously observed only in microorganisms, viruses and plants, can also occur in humans.
Scientists have verified that carbon-based nanomaterials have antiviral activity against 13 positive single-stranded RNA viruses, including SARS-CoV-2.
Computer-designed metamaterials, produced by ultra-precise 3D laser printing, might be used in the future to manipulate or direct sound in ways that have never been possible before.
Researchers have turned a longstanding challenge in DNA data storage into a tool, using it to offer users previews of stored data files - such as thumbnail versions of image files.
By using rod-shaped nanoparticles, in combination with inhibitors to other uptake pathways, researchers achieved targeting cancer cells over healthy cells. The possible benefits from this novel technique are twofold: Restricting healthy cells from taking anticancer drugs to help reduce the side effects of drugs for patients; and helping overcome chemoresistance (the uptake of the chemo drug into healthy cells in the tumor setting is one of the main causes of chemoresistance).
