By shining white light on a glass slide stippled with millions of tiny titanium dioxide pillars, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology and their collaborators have reproduced with astonishing fidelity the luminous hues and subtle shadings of "Girl With a Pearl Earring," Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer's masterpiece.
In electrocatalysis processes, single-atom catalysts (SACs) exhibit high potential as they tend to utilize atomic-scale active species to the maximum possible extent.
Molecules are the building blocks of everyday life. Many materials are composed of them, a little like a LEGO model consists of a multitude of different bricks.
Purdue University researchers have passed another significant milestone as they work to take a new two-dimensional nanomaterial to market for use in nanoelectronics, quantum devices and infrared technology used in national defense tools and biochemical sensors.
Porvair Sciences reports on testing that demonstrates how its hydrophilic Vyon® porous plastics exhibit outstanding performance in drug discovery applications due to the high hydrophilic void volume conversion of the materials’ pore structure after a special treatment process.
The Zurich Instruments SHFQA Quantum Analyzer provides a qubit readout system designed for experimentalists working on superconducting or spin qubits.
Plasmonic surface lattice resonances supported by metal nanoparticle arrays have many merits such as strong field enhancements extended over large volumes, as well as long lifetimes, narrow linewidths, angle-dependent dispersion, and a wide range of wavelength tunability.
Prof. DONG Zhenchao and Prof. HOU Jianguo from University of Science and Technology of China of Chinese Academy of Sciences improved the spatial resolution from 8 nm to ~8 Å of photoluminescence imaging.
An extraordinary nanomachine performed a small but significant step towards an effective immune reaction. Simulations are used by scientists to figure out its operation.
AXT and Delmic are proud of a first in the world installation. They recently installed a Delmic SPARC cathodoluminescence (CL) and SECOM correlative light and scanning electron microscope (CLEM) on the same FIB-SEM at the Microstructural Analysis Unit at the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS).
A stretchable, wearable gas sensor for environmental sensing has been developed and tested by researchers at Penn State, Northeastern University and five universities in China.
Antimony sulfide, or stibnite, has been investigated intensively in recent years as a promising material for nontoxic, environmentally friendly solar cells.
Scientists from Monash University in Australia have now designed the world’s first technology that could enable industries to detect and export high-quality graphene in a faster, cheaper, and more precise manner than present-day techniques.
Asynt has introduced a second-generation version of its popular DrySyn OCTO reaction station that delivers the same outstanding performance, at the same price, with improved features and a new, more aesthetically pleasing, design.
New research suggests that nanotechnology could help protect plants against heat stress caused by soaring temperatures and lengthy heatwaves. The breakthrough is the next step in a field provisionally referred to as ‘plant therapeutics’ that could revolutionize agriculture.
