3D Nanoimaging Process Provides Detailed Look at Physical Properties of Liquid Crystals

Charles Rosenblatt, professor of physics and macromolecular science at Case Western Reserve University, and his research group have developed a method of 3D optical imaging of anisotropic fluids such liquid crystals, with volumetric resolution one thousand times smaller than existing techniques. A research paper detailing the team's findings appeared in the September 21 advanced online publication of Nature Physics. The print version will be available soon.

Ripples in Structure of Graphene Key to Understanding its Unusual Characteristics

Graphene is a two-dimensional material that consists of a hexagonal array of carbon just one atom thick . Although it is essentially just a single sheet of graphite, its properties are remarkable and unique. Notably, its charge carriers behave like massless relativistic particles, and move at a speed of just 300 times less than the speed of light-many times more quickly than in silicon.

Reducing Pollution from Nanoparticles by 25 Percent

A study undertaken by researchers from the University of Alcalá (UAH) shows that if the "super-polluters", the high-polluting vehicles, such as certain buses and lorries in a poor condition, were removed, pollution from nanoparticles could be reduced by up to 25% and 48%, depending on the parameter analysed. These minute particles cause serious health problems.
