Researchers have discovered a low-cost, direct method to turn commonly used 3D printable polymers into lightweight, ultra-tough, biocompatible hybrid carbon microlattices, which can be in any shape or size, and are 100 times stronger than the original polymers.
Working on microscopic pipes only a millionth as wide as a single strand of human hair, researchers have engineered a way to ensure that these tiniest of pipes are safe from the tiniest of leaks.
Chemists synthesised a new class of carbazole-based cross-linkable materials, which are resistant to various environmental effects, including strong solvents used in the production of solar cells.
Researchers have now achieved full nanometer-scale control of the skyrmion generation by two independent approaches employing helium-ion irradiation or using backside reflective masks.
Researchers add pump-probe capability to a scanning tunneling microscopy system to allow time-resolved images to be captured as fast as 30 femtoseconds, which can accelerate material science research.
Researchers have pioneered a new chemical process to manufacture the molecules that are the building blocks for lifesaving medicines, vaccines and energy storage materials.
Physicists demonstrated a new magnetized state in a monolayer of tungsten ditelluride. Called a magnetized or ferromagnetic quantum spin Hall insulator, this material of one-atom thickness has an insulating interior but a conducting edge, which has important implications for controlling electron flow in nanodevices.
The natural world possesses its own intrinsic electrical grid composed of a global web of tiny bacteria-generated nanowires in the soil and oceans that 'breathe' by exhaling excess electrons.
