Porous materials make it possible to have nanotechnology under control
May 21, 2018 (SPX)
This material emerged from the nanotechnology revolution that turned material design upside down and facilitated the improvement of chemical processes. MOFs are...
A new Bose-Einstein condensate created at Aalto University
Apr 22, 2018 (SPX)
Although Bose-Einstein condensation has been observed in several systems, the limits of the phenomenon need to be pushed further: to faster timescales, higher t...
Course set to overcome mismatch between lab-designed nanomaterials and nature's complexity
Apr 22, 2018 (SPX)
The problem, according to a team of 12 experts from five countries, stems from a "mismatch" between the structural complexity that nature selected over billions...
This 2-D nanosheet expands like a Grow Monster
Apr 19, 2018 (SPX)
New materials science research borrows from this concept; only instead of water, engineers discovered that tiny crystal lattices called "self-assembling molecul...
Robot developed for automated assembly of designer nanomaterials
Apr 19, 2018 (SPX)
A representative 2D semiconductor is graphene, which consists of a honeycomb lattice of carbon atoms that is just one atom thick. The development of van der Waa...
A treasure trove for nanotechnology experts
Mar 21, 2018 (SPX)
Now, thanks to an approach developed by researchers from EPFL's Theory and Simulation of Materials Laboratory (THEOS) and from NCCR-MARVEL for Computational Des...
Nanostructures made of previously impossible material
Mar 14, 2018 (SPX)
Often, the aim is to change the physical properties of a material by adding a certain proportion of an additional element; however, it isn't always possible to ...
UCLA researchers develop a new class of two-dimensional materials
Mar 14, 2018 (SPX)
For example, while one layer of this new kind of superlattice can allow a fast flow of electrons through it, the other type of layer can act as an insulator. Th...
Big steps toward control of production of tiny building blocks
Mar 13, 2018 (SPX)
But large-scale production of high-quality particles faces challenges ranging from improving the selectivity of the synthesis that creates them and the quality ...
Mining hardware helps scientists gain insight into silicon nanoparticles
Mar 06, 2018 (SPX)
Their optical properties become strongly heterogeneous. Such a change in properties depends on particle size, therefore it can be used for light control in ultr...
Nanomaterials: What are the environmental and health risks?
Mar 06, 2018 (SPX)
How do we evaluate these risks and take the appropriate preventative measures? The answer comes from the results of the Sustainable Nanotechnologies Project (SU...
New technique allows printing of flexible, stretchable silver nanowire circuits
Mar 06, 2018 (SPX)
Silver nanowires have drawn significant interest in recent years for use in many applications, ranging from prosthetic devices to wearable health sensors, due t...
UT Dallas team's microscopic solution may save researchers big time
Mar 01, 2018 (SPX)
Details of the group's solution appeared in the January issue of the journal Review of Scientific Instruments, which is published by the American Institute of P...
Researchers invent light-emitting nanoantennas
Feb 27, 2018 (SPX)
A research group from ITMO University managed to combine a nanoantenna and a light source in a single nanoparticle. It can generate, enhance and route emission ...
Nanomushroom sensors: One material, many applications
Feb 26, 2018 (SPX)
The slide is made of a 'nanoplasmonic' material - its surface is coated in millions of gold nanostructures, each just a few billionths of a square meter in size...
USTC realizes strong indirect coupling in distant nanomechanical resonators
Feb 20, 2018 (SPX)
Varying the resonant frequency of the phonon cavity mode, the coupling strength between distant phonon modes can be continuous tuned. The results were published...
Fast-spinning spheres show nanoscale systems' secrets
Feb 15, 2018 (SPX)
But how they come together is of interest as the particles first gather into a disorganized aggregated cluster and then into a crystal-like regimen as the magne...
Scientists observe nanowires as they grow
Feb 15, 2018 (SPX)
The scientists, headed by Philipp Schroth of the University of Siegen and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), present their findings in the journal Nan...
Scalable and cost-effective manufacturing of thin film devices
Feb 15, 2018 (SPX)
The "intense pulsed light sintering" method uses high-energy light over an area nearly 7,000 times larger than a laser to fuse nanomaterials in seconds. Nanomat...
Ultra-efficient removal of carbon monoxide using gold nanoparticles on a molecular support
Feb 15, 2018 (SPX)
Gas purification is an extremely important industrial process, whether in factories, catalytic converters for vehicle exhausts, or the domestic air purifier. Re...
