Researchers devise gold nanorod platform to passively trap and continuously monitor single molecules using dynamic SERS, revealing new insights on nano-confined molecular behavior.
Scientists discovered how to use an external electric field to control and accelerate a chemical reaction, like a 'switch'. This work could have a considerable impact on the development of new molecules, enabling not only more environmentally friendly synthesis, but also very simple external control of a chemical reaction.
Researchers have developed a stretchable synesthesia display that simultaneously produces sound and light, promising transformative applications for wearables, mobile tech, and IoT.
Metal nanocluster/graphene nanosheet composite-based battery separator addresses key challenges faced by lithium-sulfur batteries, opening doors to their commercialization.
Researchers have found that the electron beam radiation that they previously thought degraded crystals can actually repair cracks in these nanostructures.
The amount of power a microswimmer needs to move can now be determined more easily. These insights allow a profound understanding for practical applications, such as targeted transport of molecules and substrates.
New ultra-thin graphene metalenses can focus light into exotic shapes like spirals and doughnuts. This enables advances in areas like optical trapping, microscopy, quantum optics and communications.
Scientists developed an iron oxide-graphene oxide heterostructure that improves removal efficiency of harmful volatile organic compounds by up to 15 times.
Researchers developed a nanostructured light diffuser that provides balanced lighting by diffracting blue and red light, and can be cleaned by simple rinsing with water. The diffuser consists of cheap materials and can be shaped with common tools.
