The world's thinnest, strongest, and most flexible material, graphene, could be inhaled under carefully regulated conditions without having any negative short-term consequences on lung or cardiovascular function, according to a study.
Researchers from Utrecht University, Harvard Department of Chemistry & Chemical Biology, and Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have reported on a previously obscure method to enhance the selectivity of catalytic reactions.
To engineer produce that lasts longer and is free of bacteria, chemical engineering professor Dr Mustafa Akbulut and professor of horticultural science Luis Cisneros-Zevallos have teamed up.
Researchers from the University of Waterloo have developed a new hydrogel made from cellulose nanocrystals derived from wood pulp, which mimics human tissue properties and could be used to heal damaged heart tissue and improve cancer treatments through personalized therapies using tumor organoids.
Tokyo Metropolitan University scientists have developed a novel method for creating “nanoscrolls” out of atomically thin sheets of atoms.
Researchers at Cornell University identified an uncommon event in a metal-insulating material, offering vital insights for the creation of materials with novel features through rapid transition between states of matter.
In quantum sensing, atomic-scale quantum systems are used to measure electromagnetic fields, as well as properties like rotation, acceleration, and distance, far more precisely than classical sensors can.
Empa researchers have recently demonstrated that some nanoplastics are made up of water-insoluble oligomers rather than plastic particles. The consequences they have on people and the environment are not yet fully understood.
The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) discovered that bending tungsten diselenide, instead of stretching it, induces localized emission in semiconductor 2D materials, offering new opportunities for quantum technologies; findings were published in Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.
The waveguide, a metal tube used to direct radio waves, is a critical component of satellites that enable communications. It is also one of the heaviest payloads that satellites transport into orbit.
