Physicists at The Australian National University (ANU) have developed tiny translucent slides capable of producing two very different images by manipulating the direction in which…
Sleep is critical for good physical and mental health. Yet many people have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, resulting in not enough sleep. While…
Molecular machines that kill infectious bacteria have been taught to see their mission in a new light. New nanoscale drills have been developed that are…
Scientists have constructed the first belt-shaped molecular nanocarbon with a twisted Möbius band topology—a Möbius carbon nanobelt—that paves the way for the development of nanocarbon…
A new way to build synthetic materials out of tiny glass particles – so-called colloids – has been found by researcher Laura Rossi and her…
Researchers have developed a low-cost device that can selectively capture carbon dioxide gas while it charges. Then, when it discharges, the CO2 can be released…
New research shows what happens when crystalline grains in metals reform at nanometer scales, improving metal properties. Forming metal into the specific shapes needed for…
A hand-held laser pointer produces no noticeable recoil forces when it is “fired” — even though it emits a directed stream of light particles. The…
Researchers have proposed the first graphene synthesis technique that utilizes carbon monoxide as the carbon source. It is a fast and cheap way to produce…
Working with the tiniest magnets, Hebrew University discovers a new magnetic phenomenon with industrial potential. For physicists, exploring the realm of the very, very small…
Russian scientists have synthesized a new ultra-hard material containing scandium and carbon. It consists of polymerized fullerene molecules with scandium and carbon atoms inside. The…
Microscopic measurement of wettability can be achieved at the molecular level using ‘vibrational sum-frequency generation spectroscopy’ (VSFG). Wettability of the material is the ability of…
Imagine being able to measure your blood sugar levels, know if you’ve had too much alcohol to drink, and track your muscle fatigue during a…
Researchers have shown it is possible to perform artificial intelligence using tiny nanomagnets that interact like neurons in the brain. The new technology, developed by…
Combination of nucleic acid nanotechnology and cryo-EM gives unprecedented insights into the structures of large and small RNAs, advancing RNA biology and drug design. We…
Cowpea mosaic virus, a plant virus that infects legumes, has a special power that you may not be aware of: when injected into a tumor,…
Lasers Trigger Magnetism in Atomically Thin Quantum Materials Researchers have discovered that light — in the form of a laser — can trigger a form…
